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!

AERIS are here having arrived today, are setup and making great music! It's amazing to me how good this sounds on day 1; it's the most amazing OOTB (out of the box) day I've ever had with any piece of audio gear!!!

Congrats on the Aeris's. I'm pretty sure I saw them when I visited Legacy a couple weeks ago. Beauties for sure. Have you left the Xilica settings stock or did you tune them for your room?

That would have been about the time they were getting finished and ready for crating up. They are amazing to behold to say the least!

For the proc, for now, I have set them at "Aeris_Normal" (P01) and will also try "Aeris_Studio" (P02, Legacy other room tune at their facility) and start to explore the XConsole software for MAC, grab a mic and get the processor hooked into my Ethernet/WiFi network. I am going to try to dial the bass levels and other things into my room but slowly as they already sound great here and have alot of time before break-in is achieved. This will give me quite a bit of time to get used to them, the processor and the determine exactly what changes are necessary (and avoid those that are not!) to get them fully matched to this room.

Will do once i get the area re-organized and grab a new flashgun. The AMIT is very clean and "right" when it comes to how it renders each frequency. The midrange driver is another new star in the Legacy family; same comment for that. Tonal color and ambients are amazing right OOTB. The other thing which hit me hard right away is how the speaker energizes the entire room and the soundfield wrapped around me even though this is only 2-channel. Another key improvement is from the open baffle top-end of the speaker; the omni-directional radiating pattern does wonders for image depth, precision, etc.....overall, absolutely AMAZING first 2 days!!!
