The Legacy V Loudspeaker ($49,500.00 USD) is our recommendation for a value-range loudspeaker.
Feature wise, it is for someone who would like the Living Voice Vox Olympia, but could not afford it. That with the added subwoofer, of course.
Imagine your home burned down, you lost your original Marten Coletrane Loudspeakers ($50,000.00 USD) along with most of your electronics and accessories, but a couple of Rowland amplifiers (Consonance) survived.
Imagine then, that your insurance had only provided $50,000.00 USD for value replacement.
The Legacy V, unlike the Marten Coletrane Original, is not a luxury product, although top-of-the-range. You can see from the Wavelet processor. You can also see from the loudspeaker, which makes it hard to qualify, although aspirational.
The bass response is such of that of a Veloydyne.
Legacy is one of the more interesting audio manufactures, in that they provide a whole range of products - not only loudspeakers as is the popular parlance.
They decided to provide outboard amplification to cater to the audiophile crowd preference. (One would think that given they included bass amplification, along with pre-amplification and a DAC they would be able to provide for sufficient quality of amplification.)
Design wise, we would not be undue to compare it with the Carver Amazing Loudspeaker.
Now a lot has changed since that splendid product.
This is a gentle, musical-oriented type of bass, however. With passive radiators like on the rather engaging Totem Element Earth rather than four active bass drivers on the Carver Amazing.
The Carver Amazing Platinum included 2 30" ribbons per side, 60" more recently, whereas the Legacy V includes 2 4" AMT.
Now, can you use your legacy V?
