The Advent Legacy is a floor-standing system, measuring 28-1/4 inches high, 16 inches wide, and 9-3/4 inches deep. The key performance specifications for the Legacy include a frequency response of 42 to 23,000 Hz ☓ dB, a nominal impedance of 8 ohms (6 ohms minimum), and a sensitivity of 88 dB sound-pressure level (SPL) at 1 meter on-axis with a 1-watt input. There are no external level or balance adjustments. The system crosses over at 2,500 Hz to a 1-inch ferrofluid-filled soft-dome tweeter. The 1-1/2-inch length of the woofer's voice coil, which is wound with copper-clad aluminum wire, ensures that it remains in a uniform magnetic field even at high volume levels. Like the Large Advent, the Legacy is a two-way system based on a 10-inch long-throw woofer in a sealed (acoustic-suspension) enclosure. According to the manufacturer, it will easily handle 100 watts continuously and has a peak capacity of 500 watts.
The "digital ready" aspect of the Advent Legacy refers to its ability to handle very high peak-power levels. There have been many improvements in loudspeaker design and performance since 1968, of course, and the Advent company (now a division of International Jensen, Inc.) is offering the Legacy as today's "digital ready" successor to the illustrious Large Advent. The Large Advent speaker system introduced in 1968 was intended to "compete with the most elaborate and expensive speaker systems at a fraction of their price," and in its time it was widely acclaimed in the hi-fi world.
