Legacy audio Signature lll speakers.

I am looking to buy a pair of these and I am wondering will they be a good match to a 150 watt McIntosh MA6850 integrated amplifier?

How is the speaker overall? Midrange? Highs? Bass I know is no issues. Is the sound seemless from speaker to speaker?

Are Legacy speakers just a high end Cerwin Vega? Before anybody slams me I have read some negatives about Legacy speakers in general, but only in the forum here in Audigon.

These speakers rarely are seen in the used market and I think that says a lot.

It seems like if most people love them, there is always some who will bash the brand. I see that about several comapanies like Dk Design/LSA, Von Schweikert, and many others. IS the bashing coming from real users? And if so how long did they use the product before bashing oocurs?

I have not heard the Signature III but I have owned Legacy Classics for the last 10 years and I love the sound. The bass can sometimes be boomy but the mids and a highs are what sold me on the Classics especially the ribbon tweeter. There are a lot of drivers in the Legacy speaker brand.

Agreed that like a lot of power. I have a 150 watts integrated amp and the Classic can suck up the power but they do reward you with good sound.

Oh, and to add one more thing: If you want a nice improvement in your Sig IIIs, change out the stock binding posts for the Cardas solid copper binding posts.

I know this is an old thread, but the Sig III's rank among the best I have ever heard. Very flat across the spectrum to the point of being a bit bass-shy if anything. Still when there is heavy bass in the music they speak up. You will not find any upper bass emphasis like many speakers have. The upper end is extended and effortless and never harsh sounding. Overall very easy to live with. Their modest physical size doesn't overwhelm the room either, even in smaller rooms.
