What's unique about the brand

Legacy Audio's doubleHelix system features 42 channels of amplification delivering 14,000 watts through up to 20 steerable sound locations, first custom-built for L.A. Reid and now installed in venues like the Peoria Riverfront Museum's Giant Screen Digital Theater. The system uses special driver arrays and dipolar cabinets to reduce unwanted bass effects and improve sound for off-center listeners, with a unique overhead speaker shaped like an inverted pyramid for enhanced ambient effects.

SILHOUETTE ON-WALL  

  • Positioning: An adaptable on-wall speaker designed for flexible home theater setups.  
  • Description: Delivers clear, full-range performance with a newly engineered 10-inch low-profile woofer, pneumatically coupled radiator, and a 4-inch AMT folded ribbon that ensures detailed treble. Offers a compact, stylish solution compared to the larger, more power‐hungry Focus SE and Masters Collection models like the V System and Aeris, making it ideal for buyers on a moderate budget seeking space-saving installation and solid performance.

FOCUS SE  

  • Positioning: A full range speaker known for its clarity and dynamic performance, ideal for professional studio and home theater applications.  
  • Description: Uses dual air motion tweeters, dual 12-inch woofers, and a newly developed 7-inch graphene-filled midrange to achieve masterful resolution and natural tonal balance. Provides highly detailed sound reproduction that bridges the gap between the compact Silhouette and the more advanced processing found in the Masters Collection models like the V System and Aeris.

V SYSTEM  

  • Positioning: A high performance four-way tower speaker engineered with digital processing and robust driver technology.  
  • Description: Features the first use of the Legacy Wavelet Processor integrated with dual 4-inch AMT tweeters and cardioid bass shaping to deliver precise sound reproduction. Offers sophisticated room and speaker correction that stands a step above the Focus SE and Silhouette while remaining more accessible than the refined Aeris and flagship Valor.

AERIS XD  

  • Positioning: A technologically advanced speaker that bridges innovative tweeter design with powerful bass extension in the Masters Collection.  
  • Description: Features the first Legacy Dual Air Motion Tweeter alongside a titanium-encrusted 8-inch midrange and dual 12-inch woofers to achieve linear output and dynamic control. Provides a refined balance of detailed treble and robust bass that outperforms the V System's processing focus yet is more moderately priced than the ultimate flagship Valor.

VALOR  

  • Positioning: The flagship speaker that epitomizes the pinnacle of Legacy Audio's engineering and sonic precision.  
  • Description: Combines advanced Wavelet and Omnio technologies with a massive driver array, including dual 14-inch midwoofers and extensive bass systems powered by 2750 watts per side, to deliver exceptional spatial imaging and dynamic range. It outperforms the V System and Aeris in power and detail, making it the ideal choice for buyers with premium budgets needing the utmost performance for large, high-demand listening environments.
