One of the things I like and admire most about your truly extensive system is its consistency and thoroughness. Although I am not familiar with most of the gear, I see a lot of repetition and IMO this is very good. I believe in sound signatures and synergy. I would enjoy hearing Legacy very much because Legacy's approach is so different from Wilson's. There are many ways to skin a cat. I am sure your system sounds fantastic because it is so well thought out.
