    LEGEND KAMA
    “Don't be fooled by the unassuming looks of the Kama 9s. They are packed with features that enable them to easily compete with the best in their class ...... Simply put Dr Rod Crawford is one of the very best loudspeaker designers in the world"

INCREDIBLY TRUE TO LIFE...

The Kamas are floor-standing loudspeakers reproducing the full range of frequencies, from deep bass to sparkling highs. Like all Legend loudspeakers, they have the fast, open sound making them equally ideal for reproducing the dynamics of ‘live’ music and the drama of home theatre.

Fed well-recorded music through high quality front-end electronics, the Kamas will sound superb in any top-of-the-range stereo system. They also make excellent front speakers in a high quality home-theatre surround-sound system when combined with other Legend speakers such as the Kangas, Joeys and Kurlette.}

With the Kama 9s we employ a new bass-midrange unit that is made of very strong aluminium alloy and further strengthened by radial ribs so that they remain pistonic (do not break-up) in their pass band.  This means firstly that they have very low distortion & do not muddle the sound so you hear your music more clearly as it was recorded; and secondly they have a very flat frequency response so maintain the tonal accuracy of your music.  We also use a very high quality tweeter for an open, non-fatiguing  treble. By placing the tweeter asymmetrically on the baffle, diffraction effects are reduced to give better imaging.  And the stretch sock grille has practically no effect on sound quality, unlike conventional plug-on grilles.

The crossovers of the Kamas have also been very carefully designed to give seamless transition between the drivers. And we use only the lowest distorting components in them – air-cored inductors, polypropylene capacitors and wire-wound resistors – directly soldered to give the best signal path.

Like all Legend speakers the Kama cabinets are CNC machined and individually assembled with their drivers and crossovers in Australia with a high level of craftmanship. To reduce resonaces that smear the sound in time and reduce detail, the panels of the cabinets are very well braced and damped; while their internal structure is carefully designed to reduce standing waves in their air columns.

The overall result of all this carefull design and implementation of the Kamas is to produce a sense of ‘being there’ at a live performance.

Reviewing Legend’s Kamas in ‘Australian Hi-fi’, editor Greg Borrowman said “I was absolutely floored by the tonal neutrality of the sound … They are, indeed, a true ‘monitor loudspeaker … and it is accompanied by a level of detail that is rare in a 2.5 way floor-standing design … a truly exceptional loudspeaker.”
