The Cabinetry / Our Commitment
Handcrafted
Beneath the surface of Classic’s elegant exterior lies rigid MDF
construction. Interlocking joinery maximizes the strength of the cabinet
parts. Polyester fiberfill is selected for internal damping. A sharp rap on
the enclosure will leave you with little more than bruised knuckles.
Each cabinet is impeccably finished on all exposed surfaces with select
veneers. The exquisite finish is hand-rubbed several times to assure a
patina at home with the most elegant decor.
Our Commitment
A great deal of forethought, love and satisfaction is instilled in each piece
of Legacy workmanship. We take pride in getting to know many of our
customers on a first name basis.
Your purchase of this product is backed by the renowned “Legacy
Satisfaction Guarantee”.

Unpacking Your Speakers
Your new speaker system has been very carefully packaged to insure
that it travels to you safely. Each speaker is protected by a doublewall outer carton with heavy V-board corner protectors. Molded foam
end caps are used to protect the elegant cabinetry, and a plastic liner
is provided as waterproofing. Please save this packing for future
transportation. If cartons become damaged or misplaced, new ones
can be purchased from Legacy Audio.

Speaker Placement
To allow more flexibility in seating arrangements, your Legacy
loudspeaker is designed for broad lateral coverage. Optimal listener
position is actually about 5 to 15 degrees off the axis normal to the
loudspeaker baffle. Assuming a listener distance of about ten feet, begin
by placing the speakers approximately 7 feet apart and about 1 – 3 feet
from the wall behind them. In most rooms this will afford a speaker
position at least 2 feet or more from the side walls. The amount of
recommended "toe-in" is a function of the listening angle. As the overall
listening angle increases from 40 degrees, the amount of toe-in should
increase. Your Legacy speaker is optimized for a flat response in the far
field. Best results are obtained vertically with the listener's ear at tweeter
level with the loudspeakers gently toed in toward the listener. Increasing
the degree of toe-in is recommended when placement next to sidewalls is
required. Placing the loudspeaker or the listener near a room boundary
will generally increase low frequency impact. If you are forced to position
one or both of your loudspeakers in a corner, be prepared to reduce bass
output via the control switches on the rear terminal plate of each
loudspeaker. You may also wish to reduce low frequency output with your
preamp's bass tone control.
