In the audio industry there are some companies that always stand out from the rest with their designs and achievements. To us, Legacy Audio is one of them and with good reason. Loudspeakers like the Focus SE, the Whisper XDS and their awesome Aeris are proof of what Legacy is capable of and we believe there is no way to refute the fact that this company is worthy of mention when hi-end audio is being talked about. Now, Legacy Audio has raised the bar even higher with a new design..... The V Speaker System!

It is a 4 way system and it is the first to use Legacy's Wavelet Processor which is an advanced speaker & room resonance correction system with a high-end DAC/Preamplifier. It also features two of what they call air dipole midrange (14” carbon/pulp drivers), dual subwoofers with internal amplification, and two Legacy 4” long AMT neodymium tweeters which are also new to their lineup.

According to Legacy's Chief Designer Bill Dudleston, they utilized a 12” aluminum bass driver with a massive magnetic structure complemented by another 12” aluminum very low frequency radiator which drives three 10” mass loaded pneumatic radiators. As for low frequencies amplification, this awesome design features 2,800 Watts of the latest generation of ICEpower® amplification.
