I got my 2 Legend 600's and a L400 in this afternoon.
Options
Not a long review, but first impressions.
They have plenty of bass, fuller mid range and the tweeter is a nice improvement. I don't think I'll miss the sub much. They also feel the room with sound much better than 705's and 704. The sound stage is bigger. You can see the kitchen area below which is more wide open that our other house which I feel the 705's had some issues with.
The L400 is big, she wasn't too happy about that, but does like the sound improvement.
Looking forward to getting them broken in and yes they are staying.

I had a pair of 705's but, ultimately, while nice, didn't do it for me and I gave them to my sister. She's thrilled to death with them.
From my brief time w/the L200's during the forum demo, I believe the Legend sound signature is exactly as you describe and was floored by the bass they were capable of. The L600's should be superb and yes, have to agree w/your wife, the L400 is a big mo-fo. I liked the looks of the 705's but think the L600's and 400 look really nice in your setup.
Was very impressed w/the L200's but am an SDA addict, so ordered the L800's. Unfortunately, my 2 channel rig/amp is fully balanced and not 100% compatible w/the 800's. As a result, they'll become my HT speakers and should replace my 3.1tl's.
Looking forward your impressions moving forward.

Nice! That's the combo I would have went for. The L400 just seems like it delivers the goods.2.2 Office Setup | LG 29UB55 21:9 UltraWide | HP Probook 630 G8 | Dell Latitude | Cabasse Stream Amp 100 | Boston Acoustics VS 240 | AUDIORAX Desk Stands | Mirage Omni S8 sub1 | Mirage Omni S8 Sub2

Anxiously awaiting your detailed review. These are on my radar as I'm ready to experiment with something new. I can't justify the L800's because of size and frankly the cost. I have the cash, but that's a lot of $$$ for a speaker (the L800) and I already have SDA's.
It's been a long time since I've had a "conventional" speaker in the mix. I would be keeping my 1C's and perhaps occasionally swapping in and out with the L600.
H9"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!
