Legacy, local news artiicle.

I got a chuckle out of one of the captions below one of the pictures in the article:

" prepares electronic innards for insertion into a speaker under construction".

"Innards"... only in rural America.

Great article, thanks valinar! It brings back memories.

I recall buying my first pair of speakers from Reel To Real Designs in 1987. They were just a three line ad in the back of Audio magazine.
I called and received a boatload of literature of speakers that I had never heard of before, like Vandersteen. I spent many hours talking with Bill Duddleston and even his father-in-law Jacob on the phone when Bill was working out of that garage.

I even recall Bill spending about an hour on the phone with me talking me through a tweeter swap that also required a change in the crossover. I had blown out a tweeter, and Bill had changed tweeters so he walked me through the change of tweeters and the crossover changes as well.

That was my entry into the world of high end audio.

What a great article. Even if you don't or haven't owned a pair of Legacy speakers this is a real down to earth story about a true American speaker company. I always enjoy reading the "nuts & bolts" stories like this. Muskrat what? I hated that song and still do. This is a great article about a great speaker company. Now I have to go power up my Legacy's!

Mofimafness,
Although Springfield, Capitol city of Illinois where President Obama visited yesterday to address a joint session of the State Legislature, is no large metropolis, it is neither "rural America".
I agree with you that "innards" is far from an electronic or audiophile term. One of the reasons I posted the article is to give those well versed in audiophile terms a view of high end speakers from a perspective of one apparently unfamiliar with such terms. Kind of fun to read about a high end company like Legacy some where other than the print or online audio press.
