I've been following Legacy since 1987 when they were called Reel to Real Design. I've bought 3 pair of speakers from them over the course of time. I would say they aren't what they used to be, but success tends to do that. When you put so much money into catalogs and full page ads in audio mags it has to come from somewhere. In the late 80's and early 90's their speakers were really a steal,now I just think they compete in their price range. I live in this area and would like to attend the show, but I have this damn family engagements. My son has a baseball tournament in Reading ALL freaking weekend. I'll pray for rain, with a good soaking I might be able to attend.
Legacy anyone?
On April 21st and 22nd, the Legacy show makes its stop in the Philadelphia area. At the Valley Forge Radisson. I have been fortunate enough to have received an invite. I will certainly attend. I am on record here for attending a past show(1997), and have stated my disappointment. Actually, Legacy is my biggest source of disappointment in high end audio. And why I always stress the importance of a proper auditioning. Buying sound unheard being one of the biggest dangers in audio. But, it is now a new day. Legacy has many new products, and even a new line. I would like to give them another listen. I would like to know if anyone else will be attending. And also, if anyone has visited the shows prior to them coming to Valley Forge. What were your impressions. Has Legacy kept its focus? What are the new products like? Is the company going in the right direction? Or, has the explosion of their product line resulted in them taking a step backward in overall sonic quality, due to an inability to concentrate on the keeping the basics right? Thank you!
