Looking for input on Legacy Audio speakers purchase.


I have a pair of McIntosh MC611 Mono blocks and I'm considering 2 different setups. 
1. Purchase a McIntosh C2700 Preamp and Legacy Focus SE speakers.
2. Purchase a Wavelet with Aeris speakers.
I have a VPI Scout turntable and a Primare NP5 Prisma streamer using JRiver. I may someday add a PrePro for surround with the C2700 or the Wavelet in bypass mode for music.

I own the Legacy Focus SE's. They are fantastic. Show me another full range speaker that plays down to 18hz! With that said, I have read comments that as good as the Focus is, the Aeris with wavelet is on an entirely different level. My sense is that if you have a dedicated room where you can take full advantage of the Aeris, go for it. If however, your listening space is also part of your normal living space, the Focus SE's will be amazing. In other words, there is no reason to spring for the Aeris unless you can take full advantage of their design. Bill builds incredible speakers so you really can't go wrong.
To the OP, do yourself a favor and call Audio Classics to set up a demo.  They carry the Legacy line as well as McIntosh and have them in stock. I have heard the Aeris with the wavelet with McIntosh 1.2KW mono blocks.  Part of my jaw is still on the floor at Audio Classics.  Simply amazing sound. 
Incredible speakers. You'd be shocked at how big and wonderful my Calibre XD's sound. The Areis w Wavelet would be mind blowing. Great company, great support and elite sound.

To stereo5,
Did the Aeris with wavelet and Mac amps you listened to at Audio Classics have the built in bass amps?. I Know they have sold custom Aeris with no wavelet and no amps built in at Audio Classics.
I was thinking that the McIntosh MC611's would be overkill for the Aeris with built in amplification.
