Looking for input on Legacy Audio speakers purchase.

 I have heard the Aeris with the wavelet with McIntosh 1.2KW mono blocks.

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.

@wgapel,

I wasn’t aware they had powered and non powered versions.  I do know the Wavlet was used as the preamp and the speakers had speaker wires attached to them. The sound was so effortless.   I did notice the monoblocks meters would swing up to 600 watts at times. I have a MC302 amp it it is very powerful.  If you think you need less power, perhaps the new MC462 @ 450 watts per channel would be enough for them.  Although, I am a firm believer that you can never have too much power. 

The Aeris have built in amplification for the 12 inch subwoofers. If your room and your budget support it, that is the way to go. If you already have the amps, I wouldn't sweat it about having too much power. The Wavelet is a really nice piece that will allow you to really dial in the Aeris.

Never too much clean power. I'm not joking. I do not care to work with less than 2-300wpc now. I prefer more, as everything changes for the better with increased pure power.  YMMV
