Thinking About A Change

Have you actually heard the Legacy speakers? Why do you want them in particular?

No, I haven't heard them. Spec-wise, they seem to fit the bill ... ribbon tweeter, good bass, and great midrange. The only thing lacking in the N804s is a more robust bass, although it is tuneful and not overpowering. I guess I could try a subwoofer, but I have never been a fan of them. Legacy is a very well-made speaker. I would really like to hear them, but that does not seem to be possible. I know that they can be auditioned from the company directly, but they charge full list price for that convenience.

Never, and I repeat, never purchase speakers blind. This has REGRET written all over it! You know you love your current speakers, and though the Legacy's might (might) have better bass, they also may do something you really do not like.

Instead of playing the same old game, maybe look at speakers that leverage new technology? Spatial Computer or Emerald Physics for example. I think Legacy does so as well using active crossovers. Go to some shows if possible.

You guys are right ... I guess it was the Gear Acquisition Syndrome that got the best of me. Who knows ... maybe the auditions will convince me to stay with my current speakers. Thanks for talking me down.
