No love for Legacy Audio

I have a pair of Legacy Audio Empires. Although they have a large soundstage they are not my favorite for music, however they are great for movies and games. Dialog and soundstage sounds big, Tie Fighters sound like they’re flying over and passed you. With EQ to boost the lows explosions have a lot of punch too even without a subwoofer, which I was surprised considering they’re open baffle .

Out of curiosity I called them and ask them a few years ago if they have replacement components for them and they said they even still have replacement drivers for them. The speakers are 30 years old and weren’t huge sellers at the time yet I can still get some support from the company if something goes wrong, I think that says a lot about them.

Just an update, I've dialed in my Legacy Audio Empires better, now they are great for music. In particular electronic, rap, pop, and acoustic music sounds huge on them. I'll probably never part with these as long as they're functional, they're SO good for dance music & movies/video games. Like I said, Tie Fighters sound like they flying over you. Also surprised how much low end I'm able to get out of them with EQ for being open baffle, no need for sub, but I guess having 6 12 inch woofers helps with that.

For the price these (very rarely) show up, I cant think of bigger sounding speakers that still have good sound quality.

I think the fist full of large woofers helps make these compete with modern systems by helping keep harmonic distortion relatively low for a system thats 25 years old.

I really wish Legacy would make another open baffle in this style again with analog crossovers. The newer ones look nice (and sounded good when I heard them at Axpona too), but I'm not interested being tied to their digital crossover and conversion system. I'd like to mix and match amps & DACs with my speakers.
