Legacy Aeris owners which amp do you use and why?


These speakers are rated 95.4 dB and are 4 Ohm. Sitting 4 meters from speakers would mean I would need no more than 16 watts to listen at 95.4 dB(which is way more than my normal listening levels). 

Since the amp is not powering the bass section what amp would you choose and how many watts. Tube Class A vs Solid State class A ?. 20watts to 80watts?

Excited to hear how Aeris owners get the most out of their speakers. My room is 24 x 24 x 8.

@jackd the speakers are 92 dB/1 W/1 M and stated impedance is 4 Ohm. I have no guarantee that they could dip a bit with respect to impedance. At this time the recommendation is to feed it 100 Watts of clean power when needed in my room and listening setting. And higher the watts the better.

I am on the hunt for 200 Watts of distortion free cost effective watts. Class D seems to do it, but no one like them that much specially for midrange and above only amplification.

From all my readings for super low distortion amp is Benchmark ABH2. It is more expensive than class D amps like ATI AT543NC, Nord etc. ATI and Nord also can easily put out 350+ Watts @ 4 Ohm at super low distortion but lot of people do not recommend them.

I am also considering Coda amps. But close to clipping some Coda amps put more distortion than Benchmark ABH2 last I checked. It depends though. I just do not want to get huge class A/B monoblock if speakers only need 100 to 200 watts of clean power. Again it is hard to find measurements for all Coda amps through the range of watts at all impedance levels.
As the Benchmark has a 30 day risk free guaranty I would give it a try and it should be more than enough power to push the top half of the Aeris. 
@snoopy72 Wonderful. I should have taken previous advice from others on just starting with a good integrated. Glad you are enjoying Focus SE with Luxman. I am going to see through the Class D vs Class A/B vs SET thing after all.
