    Dual Subs

    Does your sub have onboard phase and crossover adjustments? I ask because at any position in your room, it is possible for your sub to work with (constructively) or against (destructively) your main speakers, and result in bass cancellation or smearing. That's why I like the Legacy Audio subs...

    We review the $9,600 Legacy Audio Focus SE Speakers

    IMHO the best speaker under $10,000 (new Focus SE) is also possibly the best under $20k. I haven't fully evaluated the new Aeris yet and of course the Legacy Whisper XD is better at $20k, but at $10k I've auditioned everything and nothing beats the new version of the Focus SE. Great review and...

    What’s the deal with speakers with horns?

    If you want to hear a brilliantly designed horn speaker- check out the largest offering from Oceanway. Allen Sides does an incredible job with them and when I heard them at CES they were the only speaker at the show with lower distortion than the Legacy Whisper XD. The Oceanway was of course...

    High quality sound albums

    +1 on the Third Eye Blind album. Eric Valentine is a standout in his field!I do agree that the engineering is most important- and a standard CD wave file has plenty of dynamic range and the frequency response needed for music.For those looking for unplugged and live- the Jackson Brown Solo...

    HELP: Legacy OR Monitor Audio 5.1 set-up? Huge $ decison that I do not want to regret

    I recommended the Legacy to the OP because, as he mentioned, he can place the speakers close to the rear wall without ill effect. Since the Monitor Audio speaker has a rear port, it is more desirable to have the sealed system on the Legacy. Also the OP mentioned, the Legacy employs a thicker...

    HELP: Legacy OR Monitor Audio 5.1 set-up? Huge $ decison that I do not want to regret

    Wise words from Gene! My recommendation to the original poster is to go with the Legacys. They are the better performers, and their fit and finish is superior. The Legacy dual AMT is far superior to the Monitor Audio top end and the Legacy is more dynamic. Some people have brought up...

    Recordings that have image extending from the sides of the speakers.

    Interesting topic! Some of the Beatles Love album has some nice wide effects. It is best to have a speaker that accurately represents the stereo image to really hear EXTREME width. In the studio, there are lots of tricks to widening the stereo track. It is usually done with MS (mid side)...

    Legacy Audio Aeris Floorstanding Loudspeaker Preview

    I like it because it's an added value proposition- you don't have to spend a fortune on extra high powered amps just for the woofers because they are included. And the low end from them sounds fantastic! Apparently Legacy did a custom job on one of their bigger speakers, allowing the internal...

    Neil Young's PureTone project

    Very interesting! I think it will find more acceptance if they could get someone on the top of the charts like Katy Perry to endorse it though. Let's be honest, for the mass market, you have to appeal to the kids. If we could just switch to 16 bit wave file downloads, that'll be plenty :)

    Legacy Audio Aeris Floorstanding Loudspeaker Preview

    AERIS was the highlight of the show fo me. There wasn't another speaker in this price range that could offer the same level of performance. Robert Harley at The Absolute Sound thought the same. He gave the Legacy Aeris the Best Sound (highest value) award. "The KEF LS50 loudspeaker ($1499...

    Cutting Roxul RHT 60

    Since this is for aesthetic purposes as well, you might create a guide for cutting clean and straight lines. I have had success with very rigid carboard, and even a 2x4 !

    Best near field speakers with grills?

    At that price, check out Adam Audio. If you can raise it a little, pick up some used Legacy Audio Studio monitors. The Legacys are incredible performers- the new Legacy Studio HD is the best 2 way, for the money, I've heard!

    netflix and surround issue

    Try logging into the Netflix and make sure the best quality option is on. Sometimes it isn't set to anything, and it won't output the surround channels.

    Need the best amp

    I realize this thread started about the 20 year old Legacy speakers, but I have to chime in on the latest Focus SE. These are incredible speakers. After seeing the latest reviews claiming them to be the speaker to beat under $10K, I had to check them out for myself. It's true, they are...

    netflix and surround issue

    Are you receiving any information from your surround speakers? I know if there are connection issues, it starts to fold down the audio stream. Sometimes it even reduces the audio quality of the stereo stream.
