Hi Sean,
I am also a frequent rock listener- but have an appetite for high-end electronics. It is not easy to find a full range high-end speaker that can play rock. The Legacys have high power handling capability (high temp voice coils) And they can rock out very well. But as noted, the frequency response is nearly impossible to overcome. I have just now gone thru a pair of Snell xa-90's. These have a flat response but did not work out for me for other reasons. I now have a pair of Maggie 2.7qr- nice speaker-wrong room (for sale by the way) I'm thinking about a pair of von Schweikert VR4se's to try next. Already been thru the b+w's.
Oh by the way, the Classe Amp I was suggesting was the model 15. Very lively and alive sounding, with soundstaging/imaging that are excellent. Works very well with Legacy.
Bob
