Bookshelf Speakers — Legacy Audio Studio HD

The Studio HD is a bookshelf loudspeaker from Legacy Audio, sitting below the fully active Calibre with a comparatively modest recommended power specification. The Studio HD brings Legacy's considered engineering to a compact stand-mount format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response spans an exceptionally wide 41Hz to 30,000Hz within plus-or-minus 2dB. Sensitivity is notably high at 91dB into a demanding 4 ohm load, with recommended amplifier power specified as 15W or above - an accessible threshold reflecting notably high efficiency. At 33.02 x 27.4 x 27.4cm and 13.6kg, the Studio HD maintains a manageable footprint for a bookshelf-classified design.

Sound and use context

Expect the powerful, dynamically alive character Legacy's broader American catalogue is celebrated for, with the notably high 91dB sensitivity meaning this speaker reaches satisfying volumes readily from even modest amplification.

Pairing

The demanding 4 ohm impedance combined with the notably high 91dB sensitivity makes the Studio HD compatible with a wide range of amplifiers, including modest-power designs.

Alternatives

Legacy's own Classic HD offers genuine floorstanding scale within the same broader HD catalogue.
