That’s pedigree
But Legend is more than just a pretty fascia. Look beyond that gorgeous veneer and those sublime corner details and you’ll see the loudspeaker equivalent of a Formula 1 car.
Everything – from the Esotar 3 tweeter and the powerful precision mid/bass driver, to the crossover circuitry, the WBT NextGen terminals and even the dual-flared bass port – is designed for performance. It’s literally the same stuff you’ll find in our towering flagship hi-fi speakers, and even the professional reference systems that grace the likes of AIR Studios and Abbey Road. Nothing trickled down here. It’s the same components that have helped to win BAFTAs and Oscars.
If you can get your hands on either of those awards as well as a pair of Legend, you’ll find that they all fit neatly into a bookshelf. (That was an exciting day in our product-design office.)
But unlike a Formula 1 car, Legend is easy to live with. We’ve gone to great pains to make sure it’s living-room friendly; we know not all our speakers are (and not everyone wants that, believe it or not).
You can put these on stands as part of a system that looks like a trolley-dash in a hi-fi warehouse, of course, but they’ll be equally at home – and sound just as impressive – on a shelf or sideboard. Or hooked up to a streamer or your TV set. You can put them upside-down, or even on their sides, so they’re exactly how you want them. Go and experiment. You have our permission.
