Know before you buy
Yes, the Silhouette speakers are highly versatile and can be used as main, rear, or surround channels. They are specifically designed to pair seamlessly with the Legacy Audio Silhouette Center Channel speaker for a cohesive home theater experience.
The Silhouette features an integrated crossover network specifically engineered to compensate for wall-boundary effects. This ensures that the sound remains balanced and accurate, preventing the 'boomy' or muffled audio often associated with wall-mounted speakers.
These speakers have a sensitivity of 92 dB and a 4-ohm impedance, making them compatible with a wide range of amplifiers. We recommend an amplifier capable of delivering between 25 and 300 watts per channel to achieve optimal performance.
Installation is straightforward thanks to the included French cleat mounting brackets. These brackets provide a secure, flush fit against the wall, though you should ensure your wall structure is capable of supporting the 50-pound weight of each speaker.
With a frequency response reaching down to 42 Hz, these speakers provide a robust low-end performance for most music and movie content. However, if you are building a dedicated home theater and desire deep, cinematic LFE (Low-Frequency Effects), adding a dedicated subwoofer is still recommended.
The 4-inch Air Motion Transformer (AMT) ribbon tweeter is designed to provide exceptional clarity and detail in the high frequencies. It offers a faster transient response than traditional dome tweeters, resulting in a more transparent and open soundstage.
