the pair I heard didn't lack for tuneful and tight bass at all. Bass is so subjective. I hear folks talk about it all the time and let's face facts, for the most part the extra thousands we all spend 'upgrading' usually is all about the bass. I have posted that I like the Vandy's much better and it's due to their bass. They just get it. They are also a bit more coherent and all drivers meld better I feel. that takes NOTHING away from the Legacy's though. I do wish I had more time with them. What I really would like to hear is their 6k speakers vs the Treo's. I really was impressed by that mid/high unit and would love to see how they make it work with their less expensive speakers They are the only ones I have found musical in the way the Vandy's are. If I had heard the Legacy's when I originally called Audio Etc, I never would have driven down to NJ to meet John at Audio Connection listened to the Vandy's. It's ironic as I will now spend well over 10k to upgrade my complete system when the local guys could have had all my business if they had just answered a message I left them asking them their hours since they weren't open the couple of times I stopped by when they were supposed to be open. I was going to give them one more try after I finally got in to listen, but they didn't have the Hegel integrateds/DAC's as they were on order. I gave them all my contact info after a great conversation and they said they'd call me once the Hegel's came in. That was a long time ago and I'm not going to hold my breath waiting. I already got an Ayre integrated and am headed down next week to get a DAC from John along with new AQ cables. John has gone out of his way, while the local guys are just nice guys who obviously don't have any desire to earn my business.
Sorry to drone on, but it pisses me off big time. The fortune really is in the follow up.
