Legacy Audio- Designed and built in Springfield, IL by Bill Duddleston. These speakers are the top of the line at Legacy even surpassing the celebrated Whisper. I don't know how they would compare to the competition by Wilson and others but I know they are the best I've heard and owned. The speakers are quad amped and in my system are driven by 3,400 watts per channel. Bill Duddleston does the ultimate voicing and setup when the 350 pound monsters are delivered. The speakers are 4 ohms and many of the drivers are designed custom for Legacy. Drivers: 2 Neoquadrapole tweeters, 4 6" midrange drivers, 3 15" mid bass woofers, and 1 15" Rohacell graphite subwoofer in each cabinet.
1 pair Legacy Xtreme HD Subwoofers 1,000 watts per channel 15 inch
Coda Bill Duddleston chose Coda to design and voice his speakers with and i purchased the exact same system that Bill uses at Legacy, so this should be the ultimate setup and so far it is. Built by the Doug Dale and the rest of the guys from Threshold-minus Nelson Pass.
Coda CP Preamp- Class A design includes a load able phono stage for moving coils or magnets.
