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.

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.

Thought I’d chime in.  I have the aeris wavelet combo and use the pass labs xa30.5 to power them. I am very happy with the combo and rarely push the needle to where it switches from class a (first 30w)
