Owner stories


Every pair lives in someone’s room. Tell us about yours.

Owners tell us about the room, the record and the night they remember. We would like to hear yours, in a short phone call with Jay McArdle, who owns Legacy Audio.

How it works

Four steps, and you see your words first.

  1. Tell us a little.Your name, your speakers and how long they have been home.
  2. Read the questions.They are on your page before we talk, so nothing catches you off guard.
  3. Pick a time.Jay calls you at the time you choose. It takes about 30 minutes.
  4. Say yes to the wording.We send you the exact words before anything is published. Nothing runs without your yes.

The conversation

What we will talk about

It is a conversation, not a review. Most people find the half hour goes quickly.

  • Your room today, and what you play most
  • What you listened on before, and why you went looking
  • The day your speakers arrived
  • A night or a record you remember on them
  • The people who live with them, and what they say
  • What you would tell a friend

Your words

Where your story may appear

On legacyaudio.com, in our printed and digital brochures, in our newsletter and on social media, once you have approved the wording.

We credit you by first name, last initial and state, for example “Anne K., Ohio.” Never your last name, town or street.

Photos of your room are used only if you add them and say yes.

Questions

Before you ask

Who can tell a story?

Anyone who owns Legacy speakers, whether they arrived last month or came to you secondhand years ago.

How long is the call?

About 30 minutes, by phone, at a time you pick. Jay McArdle, who owns Legacy Audio, places the call.

Is the call recorded?

Yes, so we get your words right. You hear a short notice when the recording starts, and a written transcript is made from it.

Will you use my full name?

No. We credit you by first name, last initial and state. Never your last name, town or street.

Can I add photos?

Yes, after you sign in. Photos stay private until you agree to their use, and location data is removed from every photo when you add it.

What if I change my mind?

Write to stories@legacyaudio.com and we will stop using your story in anything new.

Ask to tell your story

When we can fit a call into the next round, we will email you a link and a password for your page.
