Original Legacy Studio Speakers

There were several versions of the Studio prior to the Studio HD. I believe the one in the ad is in fact a version prior to the one shown on the manual. The drivers changed between them. Some had one dip switch on back and some had two. I had a pair at one time with this driver compliment, but the one I had included only one switch on the back. This ad appears to be legit.

Well, crap... I’ve been informed that the Studio series would be a pretty poor introduction to the Legacy sound, and not representative if their typical sound quality. Sigh.

@rfnoise, regarding the PM I sent you, I also owned a pair of the Legacy Signature III and I liked them, I don't know if they are to large or expensive for what you are looking for.

I swear my Signature III sounded mediocre until I boxed ’em up for sale. Then I got a local interested buyer who wanted to demo them - and set them up quickly in a different location, where they just so happened to sound AMAZING. Ah, such fun times I could’ve had with them if I wasn’t such an idiot. And to think I sold them for only $1800 (Rosewood, mint condition), an absolute steal.

My friend also had these speakers in his dedicated basement room where they also sounded awesome, so I should have known it was setup at fault.

The Signature III is pretty damn close to "true" full range with its trio of 10" woofers per side. A LOT closer than other audiophile speakers in its price range. Sounded better integrated than a subwoofer too. That’s what made it such a fun listen. I guess you won’t get that from the Studio monitors, which were probably intended either as nearfield monitors or as rear/surround speakers :(

There is also an old Classic model which is just a slightly compacted Signature III.

Look for some original Legacy Focus. Sig. 3 was good, but Focus took to another level. I know, owned both.
