Know before you buy
Yes, the speaker is designed for versatile placement. Its wide dispersion characteristics ensure that dialogue remains clear and the soundstage stays immersive whether you mount it above or below your display.
The Silverscreen HD is compatible with amplifiers ranging from 25 to 250 watts. Given its 4-ohm impedance and 93.5 dB sensitivity, it performs best with a high-quality amplifier that can handle lower impedance loads to maintain control over the dual 8-inch woofers.
The AMT (Air Motion Transformer) tweeter is designed to move air more efficiently than traditional dome tweeters. This results in exceptionally fast, detailed, and smooth high-frequency reproduction, which is essential for capturing the nuances in movie dialogue.
Absolutely. With its 4-driver, 3-way configuration and dual 8-inch woofers, this speaker is built to handle high output levels without distortion. It is specifically engineered to anchor a high-end home theater system and provide a broad, cinematic soundstage.
While it is categorized as a bookshelf-style speaker, it weighs 56 pounds and measures 32 inches wide. You will need a sturdy, stable surface or a dedicated speaker stand that can support its weight and dimensions properly.
The Silverscreen HD is designed to timbre-match seamlessly with other Legacy Audio models, such as the Classic HD or Signature SE. Using it alongside these speakers will ensure a consistent, cohesive sound profile across your entire front soundstage.
