Simply put, they were as beautifully finished a pair of speakers as I have seen at any price.

My review pair was finished in what they call Cabernet and Black. I mean, what makes for a worse start to a user experience than to be looking forward to getting audio equipment you have purchased and then to have it arrive wrecked in sipping. It is always encouraging to see a company that takes shipping as seriously as they do design and sales. It is also generally very crowded and loud, which makes it hard for me to get a real grasp on what their speakers sound like.Īt the last couple of show, I noticed an incredibly beautiful “not so mini-monitor.” I requested a pair for review, and in a few weeks a single big box strapped to a small pallet showed up. If you go to audio shows, you will know that Legacy always has a really big room with several systems in their room. They also have a full line of professional speakers, home theater speakers and audiophile speakers. That’s quite a pedigree, and obviously Legacy is more than just a high-end speaker company. Re-mastering engineer Steve Hoffman has utilized the Legacy speakers on re-issues of Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and Nat King Cole. Multi-Grammy award-winning producers Rick Rubin, Antonio “L.A.” Reid, and renowned mastering engineer, Herb Powers, have utilized and publicly touted the Legacy designs as assisting in producing artists Sheryl Crowe, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mariah Carey, and Usher. According to their website, Bill Dudleston has designed and provided Legacy speaker monitors for Arista, Sony, Universal Music Group and archival organizations such as the Stradivari Violin Society. Legacy Audio was established in 1983 by Bill Dudleston.
