How loud are Hybrid Legatia Pros?

he feels breaking up the frequencies into different drivers in the midrange area doesn't do the music justice, especially when the drivers are seperated by a fair bit of distance.

Mmmm, I think he wants to sell speakers, first and formost. Not a slight against him, I just think he contradicts himself. Case in point: first coming out with the L3 widbander based on the above philosophy. Then some time later comes out with the L1Pro which CLEARLY is designed to play midrange frequencies and marketed as such. The L1 Pro manual even suggests using it with his IB subwoofer, the L8. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif I can find posts where Scott argues to death getting as much on that MR as possible then flips to the legitimacy of a low FS tweet just as fast, it seems.

Anyway, who flippin cares...buy what you like and amp it up and let your ears decide how "amazing" is it or not.

L1pro's are mostly used in 2 way systems. The L1v2 is used more in 3 way.

Where can you buy legatias w/ a passive crossover set? The only passive Hybrid Audio speaker that is made is the clarus series.
Other then that the all the the Legatia sets are Active only unless someone built it and is selling it outside of Hybrid Audio.

But get the L8's and L1's and yes they will outperform almost any and all setups and get extremely loud. Especially those L8's, there beasts //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Buying a passive crossover for these is not the way to go. You need to consider mounting locations, aiming, response in your cars cabin, etc etc. A prebuilt passive crossover would be virtually useless as they will need to be setup differently in almost every situation.

Is that a technical term?



I really wanted the L8/L3/L1 Pro combo. But the increase in spending by adding a crossover and door build scared me off. Then, I ended up buying an Alpine 9887 anyways. The good news is that I can always trade-in the L6 drivers and upgrade. Live and learn.

This is all good feedback. It'll be a month or so, but I'll report in my review once I have some good listening time with the set.

Do the L4 and L1's with a pair of Peerless SLS8's. You're golden then...

doesn't matter.

The crossovers can be used with but not advised for use with the L1pro

what are the xover points and slopes on the passives?

 

[DEdwards 10+ year member]

5,000Hz 12dB slopes on high and low pass.

wouldn't that cause the mids to play like this??

I bet that L8 playing to 5khz at 90* off axis sounds simply wonderful. JFC....[facepalm]
