Has anyone listened to Legacy speakers?


I have seen several ads. and read bits and pieces of info. from Legacy. However, being in the military I haven't had the chance to make it to a show to listen to these speakers. I would like to hear your comments, good or bad. I believe my ears will make the final determination, but are they worth giving a listen? Thanks.

Tubeears, i would like it very much if you could report the crossover info. I am new to the technical side of hi-end. In fact I own some legacy classics and enjoy them greatly. Is it really that important to have big time power with the legacys? What will all the muscle do for my "sound"? If some one can advise me about this I would really appreciate it.
Tubeears,great job reporting the crossover. I'm not at all surprised with your findings. All my experience with Legacy has been positive. I have had my classics for 5 yrs. to all who responded about the high power amps ..thanks! Maybe one day I'll upgrade from my bryston b60.
i have owned the legacy classic since march of 1996 and have never had a single problem. the build quality is flawless and the sound is super. the bass has put to shame many other speakers i have compared them to. i run them with a bryston b60 and even with only 100 watts(into 4 ohms)the sound staging and stereo seperation and imaging are most impressive. i use the steradian bass correction room device fom complete low range control and am happy to report the stereo seperation of even the lowest frequencies in very tight and tuneful. the midrange is second to none and i have listened to theils,hales,soliloquy and b&w to mention a few. the only set up i ever heard that made me want to own something different was some mark levinson/revel equipment. of course the cost difference was easily a factor of 7 to 8 times the cost of my little bryston/legacy set up! in adddition i have seen/heard all of the legacy speakers from the whisper to the classic and the entire line has value and musicality for someone who wants to own quality speakers and still have bucks to spend on other pieces in a stereo system. i have complete satisfaction in my ownership of my classics. hope this helps.
