The Cabinetry / Our Commitment
Handcrafted
Beneath the surface of Xtreme HD’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
Since the human ear is rather poor at localizing radiation frequencies
below 125 Hz, good results may be obtained in a variety of room
placements. Careful adjustment of the convenient front panel controls will
lead to seamless transition.
Low frequency reinforcement occurs whenever woofers are placed near
room boundaries. The distance from the walls, floor and ceiling
correspond to the wavelengths of the frequencies, which will reflect in
phase and thus reinforce bass output. Therefore, the actual dimensions of
your listening room play a definite role in what ultimately arrives at your
ear. In fact, rooms tend to have their own set of favored frequencies.
We can calculate what the most strongly reinforced frequencies in a room
will be by the formula shown below:
Resonant Frequency = (1130 ft/sec) / (ft. between boundaries x 2)
For example, a room with an 8 ft. ceiling height has a strong resonance at:
(1130 ft/sec.) / (8 ft. x 2) = 71 Hz.
