jjss49 oddiofylMy friend suggesting the Legacy actually has a pair of the ATC active towers, and -LOVES- them like no other. He has owned -numerous- other speakers for decades and heard dozens more. Says there is almost no comparison. And the simplicity of basically only needing a REALLY good source and hopefully a really good/proper room for them, seems so appealing. Alas, I am poor, and have a tiny home!
jjss49- everything you mention I have also read from many other folks, or heard in passing, so I'll take as likely truth. My CD player is a modified Pioneer PDS-504 (I can't recall the company that would perform upgrades to these in the late 90s, but they had been at least a little popular?). The amp I'll be using is a new Rega Elex~r, (signal running thru a Rega DAC~r) which I know will power the Legacy perfectly well, and likely would power the SCM7s ok if not "fine", but I know they would shine with more dedicated wattage/voltage.
Thanks for expertise folks.
