muzzagruzz Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) Item: Legend Acoustics Kantu 8i Location: Sydney Price: $3000.00 plus shipping costs with insurance - FIRM. May consider straight swap with late model aluminium ME850 power amplifier. Item Condition: Excellent (one tiny issue - see below) Reason for selling: Raising funds for two way speakers Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, COD Only Extra Info: Purchased August 2016 – much prefer pickup. May consider a straight swap with a late model aluminium ME850 power amplifier. However, it must be in excellent cosmetic and electronic condition - meaning, unmolested, unmodified by idiots that think they can improve it. It would be good if it had a recent check or service to keep it in tip top condition. Demonstration available. Purchased new by me in August 2016 direct from Legend Acoustics. Complete with manuals, plinth spikes and original packaging. These have performed flawlessly since new. These speakers are deadly accurate and they image as well as a bookshelf. Bass response is tremendous, controlled and dynamic. IMO, it would be hard to find an equal at the price advertised. Apart from this, the speakers are as new with no marks on the veneer at all. The veneer has been cleaned a couple of times with Mirotone’s Spray Glow to preserve and protect it. (I use this on all my speakers). The veneer has always been protected from sunlight coming into the room so they haven’t faded at all. Minor issue: one of the plastic tips on the ‘spider’ (about a three millimetre piece), in front of the tweeter, snapped off when I stupidly tried to dust the front baffle with a duster. I glued it back on fairly successfully and there is no damage to the actual tweeter so performance is totally unaffected. I doubt anyone would spot it after taking off the front grill so not immediately obvious. Certainly wouldn’t see from the listening position with grill off (see photos). Any colour differences in the veneer between the speakers are because the left speaker was right next to the window when photographed, so had more natural light. Removed IsoAcoustics' isolation footers from sale - will try and use them on something else, failing that they will be sold separately.

jason101 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I don't have the speakers but I do have the Gaia footers and they made a clear improvement in my system, so for those who might be unsure about whether or not to include them in the purchase I'd say definitely give them a go, especially at the price they're being offered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G'day Haru, I'm not able to give an appraisal on a comparable pair of Krix speakers. All I know is that both Dr Rod Crawford and Scott Krix are exceptional Australian designers. You are welcome to audition the speakers if you are able. The Kantu's are an extremely well balanced speaker, with deep controlled bass, an exceptional mid-range and image like the best book shelf speakers. cheers, muzzagruzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mani Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 You are so right this speaker image like a book shelf With the right amp this baby will sing , rod crawford is A great designer very generous with his time If I didn’t have one of these my self I would snap it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzagruzz Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 Yes, Mani, with the right amplifier these are magnificent. I've powered all my Legend's with ME pre and power as these amps supply huge current that the speakers love. Perfect match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
