Legacy V with Wavelet
Processor
$49,500

This digitally optimized,
multiway floorstander with
highly sophisticated processor
is one of the best speaker
systems AHC has heard—one
of those rare new approaches
to high-end audio that is so
good it almost compels serious
audiophiles to audition it. AHC
was truly impressed with what
the Legacy V could do in making
subtle improvements in the
realism of imaging and depth,
and the smoothness and clarity
of the bass with a wide range
of classical music and acoustic
jazz. The Legacy V does have
some truly great competition
from speakers without any of
the features of the Wavelet
processor, but, to quote AHC’s
conclusion, “The Legacy V is
really good!” AHC, 258

Legacy Aeris with
Wavelaunch Processor
$19,525 (Wavelet Processor
upgrade is available for
added $3450)

The Legacy Aeris is one of
the great values in upper-end
loudspeakers today. For your
$19,525 you get a six-driver,
4.5-way floorstander with
dual integral 500W power
amplifiers (one for each 12"
woofer), a 10" mid/woofer,
an 8" midrange, and dual
AMT tweeters. Moreover, the
Aeris comes with Legacy’s
Wavelaunch DSP processor that
provides time- and amplitudedomain
processing to reduce
room modes and deliver flat
frequency response. The result is
a loudspeaker that is extremely
neutral, goes very low in the
bass without strain, is capable of
wide dynamic swings, and has a
very smooth tonal balance. TAS’
2013 Upper-End Loudspeaker
of the Year. AHC, 235

Legacy Focus SE
$10,615

The massive, six-driver, four-way
Focus SE is capable of creating
a big sound in every sense of the
word, while delivering the kind
of speed and resolution from
the midrange onwards that is
customary in better ribbon and
electrostatic speakers, as well as a
seamless blend between drivers.
The upper mids and treble have
life and air, along with a slightly
forward midrange perspective.
A sensitivity of 94.5dB makes
the Focus SE easy to drive. A lot
of loudspeaker for the money.
AHC, 215

GamuT  M’inenT  M5
$12,990

These elegant, narrow-front
floorstanders of moderate size
are optimized for presentation
of soundstage, and they do the
job with a convincing vanishing
act and a large and deep stereo
presentation. Though not quite
neutrally balanced due to some
midrange forwardness, they
are clean and pure sounding,
have excellent resolution of
fine detail, and offer impressive
dynamics for speakers of
moderate size. REG, 220

GamuT Audio D200i
$13,990

This 200W solid-state amplifier
has much of the liquidity,
three-dimensionality, and image
density of tubes as well as the
expected virtues of solid-state:
tonal consistency, frequency
extension, and bass control. It
runs relatively cool, is tonally
neutral, and should be very
reliable, producing a deep
soundstage and enough power
to drive most speakers well. Its
only weakness is a tiny wisp of
“fuzz” in the upper frequencies,
noticeable only in a highresolution
system. KM, 229
