High-fidelity speakers
Legacy II
The Legacy's audiophile DNA, in a modernized design.
Four speakers that extend the acoustic architecture of the Legacy, in a redesigned line: inclined cabinets, piano-type lacquer, three-point base for the columns.
THE LEGACY II RANGE
Heir to a lineage, written in the present tense.
Since 1938, Elipson has been designing speakers where form serves sound. The Legacy II takes the diaphragms, the AMT tweeter and the architecture of the Legacy, then redesigns every surface: inclined cabinets, deep lacquer, three-point base for the floorstanding speakers.
Two columns, a bookcase and, for the first time in the range, a center speaker.
THE RANGE
Four models, one same style of writing.
Three speakers for stereo listening, a center speaker for home cinema.

3-WAY · 4-SPEAKER · DOWN-FIRING BASS REFLEX
The flagship model of the line, the 3230, assigns each frequency range to a dedicated speaker. Two 8-inch cellulose-aluminum woofers handle the bass. At the top, a silica-filled resin sphere houses the all-ceramic midrange driver with a neodymium magnet and an AMT tweeter whose radiating surface area is more than four times that of a 1’’ dome. The 25–30 mm enclosure, angled at 3.5°, rests on a three-point base.

Legacy II 3220
2,5 VOIES · 3 HAUT-PARLEURS · BASS REFLEX DOWN FIRING
Two 6.5-inch aluminum-ceramic mid-woofers share the workload: the first extends up to 2,800 Hz, while the second reinforces the bass below 200 Hz. The AMT tweeter takes over above that frequency. Four internal braces—two of which are tensioned by the speaker drivers—support a 25-mm cabinet angled at 3.5°.

Legacy II 3210
2-WAY · 2 SPEAKERS · BASS REFLEX
A 6.5-inch aluminum-ceramic mid-woofer and an AMT tweeter with a radiating surface area nearly twice that of a 1-inch dome. The crossover combines an 18 dB per octave slope on the tweeter side with an anti-resonance circuit on the bass side. The 22- to 25-mm enclosure is reinforced and angled at 5°.

2-WAY · 3 SPEAKERS · FRONT LAMINAR REFLEX BASS
For the first time, the lineup includes a center channel speaker. Two 6.5-inch mid-woofers flank an AMT tweeter with a surface area of 8,494 mm²—the same as that of the 3230. It complements the 3230, 3220, or 3210 in a multichannel system, and its adjustable-tilt base aligns it with the listening area.

DESIGN
Every angle has its reason.
A sloping front, a lowered head, a cone beneath the base. On the Legacy II, each design choice responds to an acoustic requirement.
3.5° · 5°
SLOPING BOX
A facade that tunes the waves
The 3230 and 3220 are tilted by 3.5°, the 3210 by 5°. This slight tilt aligns the speaker emission: their waves merge to form a single sound image.
BASE OF THE COLUMNS
A cone for infrasound
Below the 3230 and 3220, the vent opens towards the base. A diffusion cone there spreads the infrasonic frequencies all around the speaker, for a bass that is better distributed throughout the room.
LEGACY II 3230
Head bowed
The silica-filled resin sphere, which houses the AMT midrange and tweeter, has been lowered. Positioned closer to the woofers, it integrates better with the bass and distributes sound more evenly.
Columns
Three points of support
A high-density MDF base rests on three ground contacts. The aluminum and steel spikes are adjustable from 0 to 8 mm for precise plumb.
FROM LEGACY TO LEGACY II
What remains. What is refined.
The Legacy II doesn't change what made it unique. The 3230's pure ceramic midrange retains its sphere, the aluminum-ceramic and cellulose-aluminum diaphragms remain in place, and each model keeps its AMT tweeter.
Power, sensitivity, and frequency response are identical, model by model. The speakers retain their down-firing load.

What changes with Legacy II
THE RANGE
In addition to the 3210, 3220 and 3230, there is a center speaker, the 32C. For the first time, the Legacy enters the home cinema market.
THE BOX SET
The 3220 goes from two to four internal reinforcements, two of which are put under tension by the loudspeaker motors.
FILTERING
The crossovers have been revised. On the 3220, the lower mid-woofer is now crossed over at 200 Hz, compared to 600 Hz previously. The minimum impedance has also increased: 3.4 Ω versus 2.9 Ω on the 3230, and 6 Ω versus 4.4 Ω on the 3220, resulting in a lighter load for the amplifier.
THE FINISH
The anthracite oak and walnut of the Legacy give way to dark lacquered walnut, light satin walnut, and black lacquer. The lacquered finishes receive an average of 14 coats of piano lacquer.
THE ASSIZE
The columns rest on a three-point base, with adjustable aluminium and steel spikes from 0 to 8 mm.
THE HEAD OF THE 3230
The sphere that holds the midrange and tweeter has been lowered. Closer to the woofers, it integrates better and distributes the sound more evenly.
