Legacy Calibre - big soundstage - what other standmounts offer this?
recently was able to hear Legacy Calibres and was super impressed by the large wall of sound they were putting out
in that size box the largest soundstage I've heard previously was from Dyn Heritage Specials but the Calibres exceeded even those
wondering what you guys have heard in stand mount form factor that accomplishes an abnormally large soundstage?
“….compact M1 staged enormously large….” Review here I was gobsmacked when I heard the M1 at an high-end audio show and it sounded like a full range speaker. Initially I looked around for subwoofers but then realized there weren’t any. The sound was fantastic, so was the price at ~$100k. The new C1 at ~$15k is said to deliver much of the M1 sonics, maybe a sonic bargain. |
Having had a pair of active Calibre monitors in my home for a few months, I can confirm what you heard. Very few speakers at that price point do that so well. Pretty sick bass response as well for a speaker of that size. The quality of the veneer work was one of the best I've seen, beating a pair of $44k active speakers I had in another room. Made in the US keeps costs and unemployment down. |
