Default Legacy Audio speakers -

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?
