“Legacy is Musical Highlight of 2020, a Lot of Speaker for The Money”
Posted on February 21, 2020
"I've heard Legacy Audio's rooms at many shows and they are always extremely clean, very fast, and top-notch definition too. The soundscape was wide and deep, with top-to-bottom coherency. It was obvious that not only can the system produce realistic sound levels; it does so with a sense of ease. My listening notes also say excellent harmonic structure."

"Legacy Audio is one of the truly amazing companies within high-end audio as they do everything from front-end gear to speakers and all-in-between. At the Florida Audio Expo 2020 they were showcasing the company's new i-V7 ($7350), which is their most powerful home theater / multi-channel amplifier to date. It features the latest state-of-the-art ICEedge technology to deliver seven channels at 600 Watts @ 8 Ohms, which if you do the math is 4200 Watts in total!" |

"While this is an incredible amount of power, due to the very high efficiency of ICEedge technology, the amplification section is an impressive 80% efficient. Peak power you ask? How does 1200 Watts from any channel @ 4 Ohms, yet with less than 1% distortion. Inputs include true balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA. Loudspeaker output is via gold plated safety approved five-way binding posts. Other specs include a dynamic range of 127dB and channel separation of 120dB."

"Of course Legacy Audio offers more than their new amp... Legacy Audio's room was without a doubt one of the musical highlights during the Florida Audio Expo 2020." "You don’t usually see speakers as large as the Aeris for just under $20k. Paired with the company’s new i-V7 multichannel ICEdge Class D amp ($7350) and Wavelet DAC/Pre ($4950), the sound was exceedingly relaxed—or punchy when the music so required. Not only was transparency high, but imaging was excellent. Even Legacy’s “smaller” Focus XD speaker ($12,915), which was also shown, proved to be a lot of speaker—size- and sound-wise—for the money." -Alan Taffel and Andrew Quint, The Absolute Sound |
