Legacy Concert Master?


Never heard of these, are they from Legacy Audio? Saw a pair listed online as demos for 36k. Serious driver array:
4" air motion folded ribbon with neodymium magnetic poles.

Dual 8" wide band midranges with cast baskets from Valencia, Spain with a proprietary composite cone.

Dual 10" midwoofers with cast baskets and curvilinear aluminum cone.

Dual 12" subwoofers with cast baskets, aluminum cone and patented magnetic structure.

Yes, the paper midrange driver is identical to the one used in Aeris, though it appears to be smaller of diameter. Must be from the same driver manufacturer. Interestingly the feet are cannibalized from the System V design. Otherwise this seems to be a mega version of the Focus...

I would be interested to see pictures of the backside in order to know it the low frequency is powered and requires the wavelet processor or whether this is a truly passive construction. Given Legacy's devotion to internal amplification and the wavelet for all their premium loudspeakers in the past 5 or 6 years, I am inclined to think the former is the case.

To be honest at this moment I am a little surprised by the asking price. The $35.000 price tag for a demo set would mean a new set of these loudspeakers would set you back 5 times as much as a Focus SE set would do...
