I have a pair of Legacy-1 speaker systems, now out of warranty, and two
speakers (the front-facing woofer in one system; the midrange in the other) produce noticeable distortion at certain frequencies when tested with a clean sine wave at low to moderate power levels. I have not heard anything objectionable (yet) with music material. While they were still under warranty it was necessary to replace a ribbon tweeter that failed in one system. I am still awaiting a reply from Legacy regarding the availability of exact replacement speakers for these systems. I have never abused these speakers. My Harmon-Kardon receiver can deliver 140W RMS maximum into 4 ohms, and the maximum rated amplifier power for these speakers is 300W. I always operate them at reasonable levels, never approaching the maximum power the amp can deliver. It is unreasonable to expect that expensive high-performance speakers like these will not become defective within 20 years if not abused? |
