Kanga 6SE from Legend Acoustics
Most people don’t realise the depth of Dr. Rod Crawford’s impeccable audio credentials. What they do know is he is the head designer of Legend Acoustic, the quality speaker company he created several years ago.
Before Legend Acoustics, Dr. Crawford worked with Linn, the Scottish based hi-end manufacturer.
Legend Acoustics speakers continue to delight music lovers and thrill audiophiles with their hi-end sound and reasonable price. Both groups will be even happier to hear that Dr. Crawford has beavered away to bring forth another masterpiece - a special edition of the best selling Kanga 6 model called obviously, the Kanga 6 SE.
Higher spec drivers have been carefully chosen for the Kanga SEs but the cabinet remains the way it is on the existing Kanga 6, which will continue to attract a discerning surround sound buyer. Legend says the new 130mm bass/mid drivers which use Norecx non-resonant polymer-coated Papyrus-fibre cones and high-damping SBR rubber surrounds and rigid aluminium-alloy cast frame, sound more transparent.
The tweeter carried by the Kanga SE is a ring-radiator model with a dome fixed at the centre to ameliorate distortion at the upper limits of the treble.
Crawford prefers hard-wired crossovers, air-cored inductors, polypropylene capacitors and non-inductive wire-wound resistors. are used. And as with all of Legends range the Kanga 6SE is built in Australia and feature light oak and black-stained Oak.
Size is 420×230×170mm (HDW) and RRP $1,990

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
