Audiotroy,You use the word "compete" as in  meaning what? I can't read your mind. Does the word compete mean "almost as good", "Better than", or what? If I told you my Vandersteen Treo Ct's compete with the Persona 9H, which would be a fair analog...

Dave. Of course I think setup is important. You just didn't read between the lines as to what I said. I have experimented A LOT with interconnects, speaker cables, various tweeks, etc, etc,. I could tell you what I have done, but true to your natu...

Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members?
It seems to me that many of the elder (long time posters) seem to cut one another a lot of slack in heated debates. Newbies, not so much... 
Bluesound Node 2i & Ayre Codex - How would this work?
I am using a Node2 with Ayre CODEX with Wireworld Super Nova 7 optical interconnect, and the sound is glorious! I'm not a huge supporter of balanced outputs, but in the case of the Codex, it took the SQ to another level. Excellent pairing, IMO.

Audiotroy,It was with the current Heil Amt. Wouldn't be fair comparison with older vintage Legacies. I know what the current AMT's sound like and I know "Legacy" type bass. I was probably versed with Legacy before you started selling them. Not my ...

Audiotroy,I don't know how you make a comparison with the Legacy Sigs vs. the Vandersteen Quattro Ct and say the Legacy has a larger image and much deeper bass.Legacy Sig.- 22hz-30kVandersteen Quattro Ct.- 24hz-40kOver the years, I have owned a st...
