Floorstanding loudspeakers — Polk Audio Legend L800 - Left

The Legend L800 is a large floorstanding speaker from Polk Audio's Legend range, with a substantial cabinet for a full-scale two-channel system. This listing covers the left-hand speaker of the pair. The Legend line sits above the brand's more accessible Signature Elite and Monitor ranges in both price and ambition.

Key specs that matter

Polk Audio quotes a 32 Hz to 38 kHz response, 87 dB sensitivity and a 4 ohm nominal impedance, and recommends amplifiers between 25 and 300 W. The tower measures 123.45 x 45.56 x 44.14 cm and weighs 53.5 kg.

Engineering and use context

With a cabinet more than 120 cm tall and over 50 kg of weight per speaker, the L800 is a big, heavy tower intended for a full-size stereo setup rather than a compact room.

Pairing

Average sensitivity and a 4 ohm load mean the L800 wants a reasonably capable amplifier with genuine current delivery rather than a small low-power design.

Alternatives

The Legend L600 is a smaller tower from the same range, for a more compact room or a more modest budget.
