    Legacy Audio Speakers

    Did anyone catch the Legacy Aeris speakers recently? I had a chance to hear them at the show the other day, and these are simply on another level. The dynamics, detail and clarity were incredible, unlike anything I've heard before (and I've listened to a lot- some of my now former favorites were Wilson, B&W, Focal Grand Utopia, and McIntosh).
    The finish on all of the Legacy speakers at the show was impressive as well- must be seen in person.

    Has anyone heard the latest versions from Legacy? I feel like they would be great for home theater as well.
    I understand the rave reviews now, well deserved!



    Also check out the track No Sanctuary Here, by Chris Jones. Great recording I discovered there!

    I'm familiar with some of the older model large Legacy systems, like the Whispers, (which are ancestors of these) but haven't been to a show in a while and haven't heard these. I would expect these to do well with good source components. It does appear to be a partial dipole design, and of course I "approve" of the use of Clarity caps in the crossover... :W

      I remember reading a review on those or similar legacy in stereophile I think. Very well liked! And they are partial dipole like Jon mentions. Would have enjoyed hearing those, haven't been to an audio show in some time.
