Legacy Audio Signature SE
Signature SE allows listeners to experience the legendary Legacy Audio audio performance in a more compact footprint. The Signature SE has the ability to be placed very close to the back wall thanks to its sealed box alignment. With the Signature SE floor standing speakers, you can expect to hear rich vocals, detailed but never harsh top end, and boom free bass.
The Legacy Signature SE: A High-End Floor Standing Speaker
The Legacy Signature SE speakers are a hallmark of high-end audio, offering exceptional performance and versatility. These floor standing speakers are bi-amp/bi-wire ready, allowing audiophiles to optimize their system with ease. The Signature SE features a unique sealed enclosure design and includes rear contour switches, giving you the ability to fine-tune the sound for your specific room and placement.
Utilizing our renowned Dual Air Motion Tweeter system, these speakers deliver an incredibly transparent and airy top end. The Signature SE’s detailed sound and gorgeous design makes it an excellent choice for any serious listener.
Signature SE employs dual 10” woofers, paired to reduce distortion, while the sealed alignment couples to the floor boundary to achieve highly controlled low frequency extension.
Signature SE has the ability to be placed very close to the back wall thanks to its sealed box alignment. Taut bass lines emerge with solid punch and no over-hang.
The ribbon drivers of the Legacy Dual Air Motion Tweeter system are the very same used in the Legacy Focus series (positioned the same listener height) and employ planar and folded diaphragms suspended in a neodymium magnetic force. A natural fullness in the treble is exhibited that reminds us why we love high-end audio so much.

Built around a sealed 4‑way array, the Signature SE delivers reference-class bass extension and punch, with a smooth, neutral midrange and resolving AMT highs that reveal microdetail. Reviewer Tyler Stripko praised its combination of tight low end, exemplary dynamics, and placement‑friendly sealed design with user-accessible EQ trims.
Pros
- Deep, well-controlled bass that reaches the low‑30/upper‑20Hz range in-room, making the speakers effectively 'subwoofer optional.'
- Resolving AMT highs and a neutral, weighted midrange that deliver detailed imaging and strong vocal presence.
- Sealed enclosure plus rear treble/bass trim switches provide placement flexibility and easy room-tailoring without major EQ.
&
Cons
- A slight upper‑mid / lower‑treble brightness can appear below tweeter axis (though the treble trim largely remedies it).
- Narrow foot spacing and short carpet spikes can make the towers unstable on thick carpet; longer spikes or an outrigger/base would help.
- No magnetic grille option; the standard grilles leave visible mounting holes when removed.

Weighted average of sub-criteria below.
Bass
96/100
Dual 10" long-throw woofers in a sealed cabinet produced deep, well-controlled output down to ~26Hz in-room; reviewer described 'heart-palpating, buttocks-vibrating levels' and called the speakers 'subwoofer optional.' These comments support a reference-class low-end within the product's driver class.
Mid
94/100
Reviewers report a smooth, neutral midrange with good weight to lower registers without muddiness and strong vocal presence ('gave some real weight ... without muddying up her beautiful vocal tone'), indicating highly accurate and natural midrange performance.
Treble
92/100
AMT treble/mid system yields detailed, smooth highs ('Very smooth yet detailed treble') though reviewer noted a slight upper-mid/lower-treble edge that was easily corrected with the treble trim switch and toe-in adjustments.
Soundstage Imaging
94/100
Imaging described as excellent with well-defined placement and depth ('vocal taking a definite set between the two speakers' and instruments at different depths), producing a convincing live-music illusion.
Dynamics
96/100
Reviewer emphasized 'incredible dynamics' and 'tremendous output capability' with effortless transitions from delicate build-ups to huge dynamic hits, indicating strong micro- and macro-dynamic performance and headroom.
