It’s this ability to bring order out of recordings that can easily descend into chaos, to create a planted and stable musical foundation on which to build, to make sense of the music, the performers and their performance that makes the Peak Consult Dragon Legacy so special. I can think of nothing that’s more affordable that gets close and I could name plenty of speakers that cost way more and don’t come close either. The Dragon Legacy isn’t cheap but it’s capable of a musical performance that can eclipse all but very few alternatives – and most of those are considerably more expensive. In a few short years, the reenergised Peak Consult has moved from walking dead to setting the pace – and it’s not only the Dragon Legacy that indicates that transformation: the other, more affordable models are just as strong at their price points. All of their speakers demand care in terms of set up and respond to system matching, but feed them properly and the results are incredibly engaging and naturally communicative. There’s a – very – short list of speakers that I might want to live with, might be affordable and I might actually want to afford. As of today that list is one model longer, the Peak Consult elbowing its way firmly to the front of the line. The Dragon Legacy speaks music to me and, with the proper care (and not a little money), it will speak music to you.
