2. speakers

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 would own the Aeris/Wavelet if I had a large enough room. I've had the Focus XD/Wavelet in my main room (driving the mid/treble with either Manley tube monos or Coda solid state) and it was one of the best sounding systems I've had in my home. The room correction feature is icing on the cake.

My room is 15x21. Too small for Aeris?

Plus 1 on the wavelet plus Calibre above. With the right power the Calibre can fill a pretty big space. I really don't see myself changing speakers down the road, just hopefully adding a Wavelet and I'll be set.

My room is 16x24 and I wouldn't say it is too "small". Then again, I have a preference for floor standing speakers as I prefer their presence as opposed to bookshelf speakers. An 8" woofer just doesn't do it for me. Comparing apples to oranges as it depends on what you like and want. The Aeris is totally different IMHO.
