FIVE Legacy Products on Secrets 2025 Recommended Gear List
Posted May 2025
Five Legacy Audio products including the Focus XD & Signature SE tower speakers, Foundation & Metro XD subwoofers and i.V7 amplifier were named on the Secrets of Home Theater & High Fidelity Recommended Gear List for 2025.
All received the "Reference" tier designation. According to Secrets, "these choices provide “cream of the crop” performance with no compromises." View the full list here.

"The Legacy Focus XD loudspeakers are an astonishingly good product. They will deliver on any type of music you want to throw at them, from a string quartet to anthem rock. They are quite efficient, beautifully finished, and wonderfully transparent without being harsh at any time or SPL level. The fact that they are not stratospherically priced in relation to the performance they provide makes them a screaming value to boot! Highly recommended!" Reviewed By: Craig Chase

"I really enjoyed my time with the Legacy Audio Signature SE Tower Speakers. There are very few speakers out there that offer such a compelling mix of rock-solid American construction, fantastic sound quality, and sheer dynamics. Not only did they fill my room with big, booming sound but they also delivered more quiet passages with incredible nuance and delicacy. You could easily spend a lot more money and get far less. The AMT midrange and treble drivers remained clear and detailed at insane volume levels and the dual 10” woofers could seriously kick. Throw in the easy-to-drive nature of these speakers along with their excellent build quality and you have one heck of a bargain in the high-end audio world. The Legacy Audio Signature SE Towers would make a great choice for a two-channel stereo system or as the mains in a killer home theater setup." Reviewed By: Tyler Stripko

"If you were to ask me to try and summarize my impression of the Legacy Foundation subwoofer in a single word, then that word would be “righteous”. My room is over 5,000 cubic feet and I probably never used more than 50% of the sub’s output capacity. I think a single Foundation sub could easily fill a room twice the size of mine. This provides many obvious advantages. To me, the most significant advantage is that the sub will remain well within its comfort zone output-wise. This means that the Foundation sub will produce much less distortion than a lesser sub that would be routinely maxing out. There are a lot of subs that can put out high quantities of bass but then go ahead and ask yourself after hearing them, “How is the ‘quality’ of that bass?” With the Legacy Foundation, the answer is “most excellent, indeed”.

"Open Range showed off the Metro’s ability to start the thunderstorm with that extra mid-bass clarity of the storm off in the distance. As the storm approached, guests actually went to the window to see if this was the movie, or if a real storm was on the way. That is a testament to the accuracy of the “little” Metro. The gunshot scene was so well rendered that I started to wonder what a quad pack of these subwoofers would do in our room." Reviewed By: Craig Chase

"The Legacy Audio i∙V7 amplifier offers seven channels of phenomenal cosmic power in a relatively itty-bitty living space. Perhaps even more importantly, there is no longer any need to “justify” your decision to go Class D. The i∙V7 does pure power, dynamics, and bass better than pretty much any competitor on the market without sacrificing performance in the midrange or treble. The impressively neutral midrange and detailed, yet still sweet treble response bring music and film soundtracks to life." Reviewed By: Tyler Stripko
