There's a woman who likes her coffee! Is that a bottle of bailey's I see in the distance?

Prélude From Suite No. 1 In G Major For Cello, BWV 1007 by Yo-Yo Ma. http://shz.am/t10516056

This is not from the same album but should give you an idea:

It sounded nice.

More Than You Know by Lyn Stanley. http://shz.am/t305110227
Can't find the video of this but as it turns out, Lyn Stanley was there and stood next to me and started to sing along with her own track!

Anyone who thinks a recording reproduces a live experience should have been there. The recording of her voice was VERY different than her in the flesh. It was warmer and at any rate, did not have any feel or style of her live.

Lyn Stanley is at all the audiophile shows. I caught the singing along with a track at last year's Axpona. She seems like a very nice woman and seems to be doing well selling to the audiophile set. I would like to see her performing at clubs and honing her craft. But this business model seems to be working for her.

I remember drooling over legacy speakers back in the early 90's at 14 years old. It was their speakers that convinced me buying direct was the only way to go.

If you do a cover, gotta do it with style ...

She looks ... pro...fessionalism.

I only stopped by once in this room, and their was no music playing or would be in the near future. So I left after about 10 minutes. I've never heard the Legacy speakers impress me at a show. Maybe it's the large rooms they use at AXPONA, Amir any insights on their design, as it is kind of different? What have you heard of their speakers AXPONA or otherwise?

 

[amirm]

I have heard their speakers in similarly large rooms at other shows. I like the bass and power handling they have.

Is the purpose of the side by side mid/woofer to compensate for HTF? AJ any thoughts on the top of the line Whispers XD's or the V, lots of different going on with various technologies being used?

From their website, for the XD's: The sweet spot is much wider with the Whisper XDS design, allowing the listener to move outside the left speaker and still hear a balance with the right speaker, and vice versa. The manual recommends a strong toe-in, to cast the strongest acoustic shadow across the face. It explains that the imprint of the shadow of the nose into the opposite ear is the other portion of the stereo signal that is usually washed out by excessive room reflections with conventional speakers.

Can they match Cerwin Vega in this department?

Something like this?

Something like this?

Not quite because she would start and stop singing along making it much easier to compare.
