Legend's design philosophy
Legend speakers are elegant, world-class products designed and built in Australia to give you maximum enjoyment when you listen to your music or watch your home theatre.
They have extraordinary clarity and accuracy which enables you to hear your music & home theatre 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; while Alfred Brendel’s Beethoven “Moonlight Sonata” will sound ephemeral. And you will hear and experience the bone-crunching shoot-out in "Heat; plus the delicate rustle of the grass in "Gladiator".
All Legend loudspeakers have state of the art electronic and acoustic components synergistically combined using the knowledge and experience gained when designing a new range of loudspeakers for Scotland’s top hifi manufacturer. This experience has been applied in an Australian situation to produce a ‘fast, open, natural’ sound.
Our methods include sophisticated computer design and measurement systems. Yet the final decisions have always been made by that most sensitive of musical test instruments, the human ear. And only after extensive listening to all sorts of sound music and watching many DVDs.
Thus our goal has been to recreate as closely as possible a concert or movie in your home. By maximising the flatness and equality of output of Legend loudspeakers, we preserve the natural tones of instruments or movie events in an open enveloping soundstage. And by minimising distortion and energy storage, both electrical and mechanical, Legends reproduce the foot-tapping speed and emotional impact of a live concert or the most exciting car chase.
