Legacy Studio HD with factory upgrade (silver HF wire and solen cap) for an additional $400. Amazing monitor using the same drivers (AMT folded ribbon twitter and 8" midwoofer) from speakers higher up in the Legacy lineup. large The 8” woven graphite woofer is exclusive to Legacy Audio and features a thick, cast basket. The tweeter is a metal-encased, 1” AMT, or Air Motion Transformer, which operates like a small accordion squeezing out high frequencies.
Around the back of the Studio HD, you’ll find 2 pairs of binding posts for bi-amping and a pair of insulated copper jumpers for standard wiring. The Studio HD is rear-ported for greater bass frequency extension. You’ll also find a filter switch that shelves high frequencies by -2dB at 10kHz for bright rooms. Another switch shelves low frequencies by -2dB at 60Hz for placement near boundaries, and raises the impedance for use with budget amplifiers. Left in the “up/off” position, the Studio HD is anechoically flat across a broad range to an order of +/- 2dB from 41Hz-30kHz, according to the manufacturer specs.
The binding posts are also designed to extend all the way through the crossover circuit board for a direct connection to ground and the hand-wired circuit. In talking crossover design, the capacitors and resistors are positioned atop the chokes to aid as thermal sinks.
Each Legacy speaker is hand-tuned by the manufacturer. The no-BS process is described as: "The process looks like this: a microphone is placed 1.5 meters away, equidistant to each speaker. The input to the right speaker is inverted. This subtractive technique isolates the difference between the loudspeakers, and adjustments are made to minimize the difference. To be clear: this happens to every, single Legacy speaker. Where other manufacturers might simply slap together identical components and hope that manufacturing tolerances are tight enough to provide similar performance from unit to unit, Legacy verifies this by instrument and ear for every product sample to ensure consistency. This hand-tuning of every speaker is, to paraphrase Bill (President, Legacy Audio), “where science meets art.”
Very easy to drive at 91dB. Original boxes. Speakers are in near perfect condition. Mature adult owned; no pets.
