Has anyone listened to Legacy speakers?


I have seen several ads. and read bits and pieces of info. from Legacy. However, being in the military I haven't had the chance to make it to a show to listen to these speakers. I would like to hear your comments, good or bad. I believe my ears will make the final determination, but are they worth giving a listen? Thanks.

You will read both positive and negative comments about Legacy speakers. I own several different complete systems from mid hi-fi to hi- Tec. I also own two pair of Legacy speakers by choice, (Studio and Signature III). In my opinion not only does Legacy make beautiful cabinets, but they also use quality components and you get a lot of bang for your buck. In order to get the correct sound from the Legacy speakers one must use a good hi current amp, the bigger the wattage the better (200 watts or more for solid state in order to really make the speakers sing). What branch of the military are you in and where are you stationed?
Sean, what you say seems to make sence to me, although I have never looked inside or worked on my skeakers. I don't hate you, that's what this form is all about :-)
Speaking of tubes, I have run my Legacy Signature III and the Studio using my Cary 2A3 monoblocks which are 5 watts per channel. The sound was pretty good considering all. Of course I usually run the Legacy with solid state high current. I have personally never had a problem with sizzle or bass boom. My speakers are well constructed and purchased 5 and 7 years ago.
Tubeears, thanks for the information. I’m sure it took you a while to research and write. Good informative job!

Jmcgrogan2, I basically agree with what you say. I listen to jazz, big band, pop rock, female vocals blues Latin, rock, classic etc. The music room I use tubes in is 12 X 15 X 8. The solid state unit is in the great room 20 X 18 X 8 which opens into the kitchen 23 X 14 X 8.
