Legend's design philosophy & practice

Legend Acoustics' mission is to make world-class loudspeakers, both in build and sound quality, so that you can experience maximum and long-lasting emotional enjoyment from your music and home theatre.

Our cabinets are made in Australia by a cabinet-maker who has long practice as well as innovative manufacturing techniques. Our drivers are carefully sourced from leading manufacturers before extensive modification by us. And our crossovers employ the finest electronic components from around the world. Finally each loudspeaker is assembled in Australia at a single work-station and rigorously tested both by listening and by computer-controlled measurements.

But world-class loudspeakers require designing a whole that is more than the sum of the parts. Achieving such synergy requires, firstly, a passion for what live music really sounds like and, secondly, a deep understanding of loudspeaker design that comes from long experience and comprehensive knowledge of the physics involved.

Thus we create in Australia the famous "fast, open, natural sound" of Legend loudspeakers. They enable you to hear your music & home theatre through a "clear open window" as it was recorded and not through a layer of hard distortion - or with 3 tea-spoons of sweetener added to everything! Peter Gabriel’s “Sledgehammer” will sound raucous; and Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” ephemeral. Your emotional enjoyment will depend only on the content and quality of your CDs, DVDs and other sources.
