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!

Yyzsantabarbara,

Yes, the Aeris does in fact have a down firing passive radiator recessed very deeply from the bottom, as well as 2 small ports in the rear.
I remember the Focus 20/20 and HDs with the Rotels separates at AudioETC; I hope they moved up from the old Rotel 1000W monos as that would be the bad pairing I remember as well. They should grab the new Focus SE AMT and the AERIS and move them into the room with the high-end Classe monos :-) It's still a great shop and they took very good care of me back a few years ago however as you and others have said, they have to rethink their equipment pairing strategies.

My AERIS pair are on an ESTES Long-Haul truck as we speak; they'll arrive in the depot tonight so I could have them on Tuesday morning at the latest if all goes as planned. I will be somewhat sorry to see my Focus SEs leave but it's been just short of 3 great years with them so I am looking forward to the AERIS arriving very much. I'll keep everyone posted on what I hear as I break them in....
Yyz, thanks for the info. Either way it sounded good. Jay, I'm in the condo's on Silver Lake in Berlin. email me.
Zephyr congrads on your Aeris arriving please let us know what you think as they break in. I am having a blast with mine have about sixty hours on them now and starting to do some of my own programs with the DSP. What finish did you get? I also was sadden to se my focus SEs in black pearl leave but after setting up my Aeris I soon forgot all about them . Enjoy
Very cool on your new speakers. You'll really enjoy them I'm sure. They have the Aeris on the Classe equipment. It sounded really great. I just hate the top end of the new Rotel stuff. Have you been to their new place in that factory?

I made a post yesterday that didn't seem to get posted for some reason.

I'm in Berlin, CT in the town houses on Silver Lake. Where in CT are the rest of you? I was told there is a club up here, but I never heard back from them.
