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 for huge dynamics and reference bass, the sealed Signature SE impressed Tyler Stripko at HomeTheaterHifi with deep, tight low end, a smooth neutral midrange, and AMT treble that stays detailed without turning harsh. Its placement flexibility and excellent imaging make this a commanding, room-friendly tower for serious listeners.
Pros
- Delivers deep, tight bass with subwoofer-optional authority and outstanding dynamic impact.
- Offers a smooth, neutral midrange that keeps vocals natural and free of muddiness.
- Provides excellent imaging and soundstaging with clearly layered instrument placement.
- Sealed cabinet design gives it unusual placement flexibility for a large tower.
&
Cons
- The upper midrange and treble can run a little bright below the tweeter axis without adjustment.
- The cabinet can feel top-heavy, with stability and carpet-spike length cited as practical concerns.
Sound Quality
94/100
Weighted average of sub-criteria below.
Bass
96/100
The sealed dual-10-inch low end is repeatedly described as deep, tight, and powerful, with solid response down to around 26Hz in-room before roll-off. The reviewer calls the bass 'exceptionally clear, punchy, and deep' and says subwoofers are 'truly optional,' which is excellent evidence for a reference-tier bass performance in a tower.
Mid
94/100
The midrange is described as very smooth, very neutral, and free of muddiness even when handling strong lower-register weight. Vocals retain their natural tone and body, suggesting a highly competent, coherent midband with little sign of coloration or crossover disruption.
Treble
91/100
Treble is praised as 'very smooth yet detailed,' with the AMT system delivering refinement and resolution. There is a noted touch of excess energy in the upper mid/lower treble and some off-axis brightness, but the reviewer also says it is easily corrected with the treble trim switch and positioning, so the overall result remains very strong rather than flawless.
Soundstage Imaging
93/100
Imaging is called excellent, with a locked-in vocal image, clearly defined instruments to the sides, and convincing depth layering. The speaker creates a believable live-band presentation, which is strong evidence of both stable focus and good dimensionality.
Dynamics
96/100
Dynamics are a clear standout, with repeated claims of 'tremendous output capability' and 'incredible dynamics.' The reviewer describes effortless handling of quiet-to-explosive shifts and very high playback levels without strain, indicating serious macrodynamic authority and excellent headroom.
Show Less
Build Quality
94/100
Construction quality is described as 'first-rate' with 'excellent build/finish quality,' and the large driver complement is presented as an impressive, high-grade array. The sealed cabinet design and solid dual binding posts reinforce the sense of a seriously executed premium product rather than a decorative luxury tower.
Value for Money
91/100
At a list price of $6,996/pair, the reviewer explicitly says the Signature SE offers 'a lot of bang for the buck' and goes as far as calling it one of the best-sounding speakers heard for under $10,000 per pair. In the context of premium floorstanders and its performance level, that is strong value praise rather than mere justification.
