Legacy Audio AERIS: RMAF/listening impressions?

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.

Unfortunately I moved out of Manchester CT back in 2007 or you guys would be more than welcome to drive on over! I'm in the northwest corner of SC so if you are ever on your way down Route 85, let me know in advance and we can do some listening! I was never able to find that audio club when I lived in CT either; bit of a mystery to me at the time as well...

I'm boxing up the Focus SEs today; they will definitely be missed! In all my listening opportunities for Aeris, I kept what I received from the SEs uppermost in my mind when giving feedback about how Aeris should represent itself in the bass and sub-bass frequency regions....

I am getting the new exotic finish, Sapelle Pommele cabinet with Cabernet stain and high-gloss finish with a Black Pearl front baffle. I saw a number of Aeris finishes in person over the last 10 months or so and this one stands out from all the rest. I am really looking forward to this and will let you guys know about the break-in cycle. I expect to find 275-350 being the first major point at which the speaker really comes out fully as with all my trials over the past few generations of speakers....
