->         Alright!!!!!! Glad to hear you ordered your Sig IIIs from Legacy.
-> They are said to be some of the sweetest sounding speakers available at 
NY
-> cost. As a metter of fact, at one point, those were the speakers most 
ften
-> purchased by the personnel that work there. That should tell you 
omething!
->         I know it gets old hearing someone rave on and on about any 
specific
-> product in audio. Especially when absolutely everything is so much a 
matter of
-> perception and personal taste. But for me, few products and even fewer
-> manufacturers attitudes seem more in tune with the common audio 
nthusiast.
-> They seem like they are there because they have a love for what they are 
doing
-> and pursuit of the same thing we are after sonically. 
->         Please let me know how hard it is to set the Sig IIIs up and get 
them
-> just right. I have read some posts that they were very easy speakers to 
work
-> with. BTW, what are you going to be pushing those with?
-> Cheers, John

To start with I am going to use my existing Onkyo 727 but I have been
considering using it more as the preamp and buy a power amp.  I am
seriously considering the Legacy MultiChannel amp.  I can configure it
to drive the front and rears and still use the Onkyo for the center
channel or I can use the Legacy Amp for just the front and let the Onkyo
drive the rear and center.  If I add a passive subwoofer, I could
reconfigure the Legacy to drive the front speakers and the center
channel.  The Legacy amp just seems so darn versatile.  Beside its
versatility, the price is almost impossible to beat.  They put a nice
price on it with the purchase of the Signature IIIs.  I did listen to a
Golden Tube Audio SE 40 tube amp and was quite impress by its warmth but
it did not have nearly the flexibility of the Legacy MultiChannel
amplifier.  
I hope the placement is pretty straightforward.  I am really just
getting into the this higher end audio.  Bill really thought they should
be easy to place in the room.  However, the controls included on each
speaker seem to allow quite a bit of fine tuning.
What is your opinion on biwiring the speakers?  If I purchased the
Legacy multichannel, I could actually biwire the speakers from just that
power amp and let the Onkyo carry the center and the rear speakers?
