Legacy Concert Master?

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...





(Disclosure: I was a distributor of Legacy Audio loudspeakers for several years) 

Doug, those midrange drivers are very similar to what is used in both Aeris and Calibre. All of the drivers are used in at least one speaker in the Legacy line up.

Douglas, just pulling your leg. You are a gentleman and a valuable resource.

Just called Audio Classics and they said they are a new model/special design that they were somewhat involved with and he believes they are going to be a part of the lineup. Said they had sort of a Dunlavy influence to them (for whatever that’s worth?) and they sound amazing plus were easy to drive.

Errr... phone call to Audio Classics or Legacy??

Don't be so sensitive; "the means" applies at any level. Your OP did not clarify whether you were an interested buyer.   :)

@bajaed - That's why a lot of people got into the high-end hobby. Once upon a time, Audio Research's best cost less than $10k. One could hope that with hard work and patience, One could own the finest. Hey, for me, that Jag XKE or Porsche 911 was never going to happen! Anyway, inflation and rich guys found high-end. Now we have $50,000 speaker wire. I'm in it for the music and have found paradise with my current system. I'm happy. 

Ouch! You know you're in the wrong hobby when having $5k + speakers casts you as not having "the means" lol!

Valor is top of the line. See my reviews of Legacy Audio speakers at Dagogo.com

What strikes me a bit odd about the one for sale is the paper midrange drivers. These seem different than what Legacy Audio typically uses. It almost seems that someone replaced the stock drivers. Not sure; I don't want to be declarative, as this may be a stock Legacy Audio design, but it looks different. 

It's a moot point, anyway, for you, it seems. But, for someone who has the means, these questions should be answered, and I would go to the source, the company. 

I wish I could consider them if they are Legacy's. My Calibre speakers are as high as I can go in their product line for now but I am extremely happy with them!
I was just curious. Legacy makes so many great speakers imo that you wonder how they can find room for more in the lineup?
The Studio HD is a great bookshelf but along comes the Calibre, the Focus is there then the Aeris. I heard the V's and was amazed then they came up w Valor. This would appear to fall between the Aeris and Whisper?
Yes I'm a big fan.

It sure looks like one of theirs. It uses drivers seen in other speakers in the line up.

It may be a newer model, or one of a kind. The footers appear to be the newest ones by Legacy Audio. The drivers, except for the mids, look like Legacy Audio. 

Best to speak to the speaker company before any consideration. 

Yes that's it. I don't see it anywhere on Legacy's website and was wondering if it was a custom order, a new model or...?
