Legacy Audio AERIS: RMAF/listening impressions?


I made a trip to Legacy this past week to hear this speaker in a non-show environment which would also afford more time to listen and hear music that I took with me. I don't see alot in the way of RMAF postings here as yet and would like to hear people's impressions of this speaker as I thought it an amazing speaker with huge potential. I've started a section on my system thread for anyone that wants to add material or please put your thoughts and impressions here. Thanks!

I was just at Legacy Friday afternoon. Bill had pulled a pair from production and walked me through a room tune. There have been a few changes since RMAF. Probably the most significant was the change to the Xilicia XP 4080 processor which is the baby brother to the XD 4080 used with the Whispers. The other change was to go with 1000 wpc amplification for the bass section.
Thanks for letting me know this....they tell me they have the RMAF pair that would be broken in fully by this week so since I happen to have a business trip to a client south of Chicago coming up on Wednesday and Thursday morning I am thinking of going back for a listening session on Thursday afternoon before I catch my flight home on Friday. How did you like what you heard?
They are definitely in a different league than my Focus SE. Bill put a Signature SE in on the left and tuned it and it was amazing how the Aeris wss just so much in a different league.
Had a chance yesterday to swing down to Legacy after client meetings up north and hear a broken in pair of the new production version of the AERIS with dual amps for bass in each tower. All I can say is 'Wow'...I heard things that I never heard out of Focus SE or Whisper in such a plentiful amount and a density of soundstage that I've only heard out of Helix but even more refined. These speakers pull you into the recordings and music in a way that would take a lot of writing to describe. AERIS is one hell of a speaker...it is definitely going to have to find a way into my room as soon as possible!
