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.

@oddiofyl "I would still buy a Legacy speaker after reading Jay's post.   Sounds like they want to continue Bill's " Legacy"  

+1 

It's not an uncommon scenario to see a founder / owner / creator / designer to hand off production operations and go back to the original vision and passion - design.  

We've all seen this occur with amplifier companies too, unleashing the original wizards to transition back to how it all started for them, and giving it a 2nd wind come about to create the next generation of designs.  Focus like this can make a real difference.

While I don't own Legacy, it will be interesting and fun to see how this unfolds more and what becomes of it in good time.  yes

@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. 

 

so it seems there will be no major changes at legacy in terms of production or business model 

 

and perhaps with bill being freed up from daily operations we may see some new models

so no bid deal with this announcement
