Thoughts on Legacy Whisper Speakers

I think they are very big.

Great speakers. Don't be fooled by others trashing them. What they need to sound best is a big room. If your room is medium to small, the Whispers won't be a good fit. Their weakness(relatively minor) is in the bass region. Highs,midrange,dynamics,soundstaging are top-notch. If you can get a good price and have a good sized room, you will be extremely happy with these speakers. BTW, they sound superb with tube amps that can supply some current.

Hi Clueless, I'm likewise (clueless) on the Whispers but DO know s/thing about Mezzo Utopias.
Price: IF the electrical part is top-notch and the cabinetry in v. good condition (I would call it 8/10, a seller "9/10"), then $7500 looks reasonable enough. I would like them to be a recent pair, too.
If you're interested in more info, don't hesitate to ask... Cheers

Legacy themselves say that the Whispers are much more placement insensitive than most speakers. If that's true, why do so many of you say that a big room is needed?? I'm concerned about this, since I'm also thinking about the Whispers but have only a medium sized room (13 by 20 with lots of stuff in it).

I stood in Legacy Audio's home studio with Bill Duddleston,their design engineer, and listened to the Whisper and the Focus in direct comparison. The whisper is sweet but I bought the Focus as I could not see the price difference warranted the Whisper. And the Focus has real bass definition---down to 16hz but they do like a lot of power which is contrary to Legacy advertising. All the Legacy products seem to perform better in open spaces and with power. They also make a sub that mates with the whisper which cures the bass weakness.........
I am just a satisfied Legcy customer.
