Legacy Audio Calibre Speakers

Unlike most bookshelf speakers that use a two-way design, the Calibre features a sophisticated three-way system with dedicated drivers for high, mid, and low frequencies. This allows for significantly better detail, separation, and dynamic range, effectively bringing professional studio-grade performance into a compact footprint.

With a frequency response reaching down to 38Hz and the inclusion of dual 8-inch mass-loaded pneumatic radiators, the Calibre provides substantial bass output on its own. For most music listening, you likely won't feel the need for a subwoofer, though home theater enthusiasts may still choose to add one for dedicated LFE effects.

The Calibre has a sensitivity of 90.5dB, which makes it relatively efficient for a speaker of this caliber. While it can be driven by a wide range of amplifiers, it performs best with a high-quality, stable amplifier that can handle a 4-ohm load to fully realize its extreme dynamic capabilities.

While they are technically bookshelf speakers, they are quite substantial, weighing 50 pounds each and measuring over 16 inches tall. They are best suited for dedicated stands in a listening room or a larger home studio rather than a standard desktop surface.

The 4-inch Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeter is designed to move air more efficiently than traditional dome tweeters. This results in exceptional high-frequency clarity, faster transient response, and a wider soundstage, which is essential for critical listening.

The Calibre uses a high-density, rigid cabinet designed to eliminate unwanted vibrations and resonance. By preventing the cabinet from coloring the sound, the speakers ensure that what you hear is a precise, accurate reproduction of the original recording.
