Legacy Audio has a new owner


I don’t know who it is. But I just tried to order another sub direct from the factory. I have been buying from them this way for many years. In fact I just bought a Foundation Subwoofer and a pair of Studio HD  for surround speakers within the last couple months. A nice discount was always part if the deal. I live a few hours by car from the factory and would pick them up on my way to visit a friend in St. Louis so no freight charges. Anyway, I just tried to order another sub. Nope. All sales now must go through the dealer network at full list plus freight etc. 

No surprise I guess. The dealers must have been pissed. Unfortunately this takes the price to about $1,500 more than I paid a couple months ago. I’m out on that. I will make do with one sub.

Hey guys, to answer the question directly. My wife and I are the new investors into Legacy Audio.  I am happy to engage and have any conversation you would like. We live here in the Springfield area, and have been customers / dealers / friends of Bill for ~20 Years. This is a long term passion project for us, we are anchored in Product Quality and Customer Experience. 

Bill is still very much involved in the business and this move was to enable him to focus on product development and innovation rather than have him run the day to day operations of the business. We haven't published anything publicly yet, well... because not a lot has changed, and there isn't a lot to announce.  

@jfrost27 I think there may have been a bit of a misunderstanding with some of the communication.  You are free to come by the store and purchase direct, you don't need to go through the dealer network or pay freight if you are picking up here, but Ed was right in a "default discount" from buying direct from the factory is something that we are moving away from.  We believe that we provide the highest performance speakers for the price in the market. We believe that when we give our dealers a MSRP we have done our research to understand the value in the market of the product being offered, and always strive to exceed that value. We know we won't always get everything right, but we will always work to make it right.  I am happy to look at your scenario as I would on any. 


In the mean time if you want to reach out, feel free - jay@legacyaudio.com.  And if you want to reach out to Bill, he is here too :-).

Thanks again for all of the years of support and the many years yet to come! 

@skeptikal yes, we have a variety of B-stock, and remastered speakers at the factory. We are working on a website refresh to bring those out to market, but feel free to call / email in the meantime.

Yes, it is a discontinued model.  I loved the aesthetic & performance of them.
