Legacy Audio AERIS: RMAF/listening impressions?

Very cool. congrats on the purchase and I wish you nothing but fun listening. I really do think that mid/high unit is one of the best I've heard

I visited the LA room at the California Audio show. I was at first drawn into their room by the really beautiful sound of a lovely song (i think it was Eva Cassidy / What a wonderful world) they were playing. So I sat and listened and really enjoyed it.

Then i requested him to play a track from a CD that i had brought along.. Love's Divine (Seal). I was using this track as a reference for comparing rooms that impressed me initially. As this track unfolded, it became evident that the bass was fairly (disappointingly!) weak ... this was not being exposed by the track being played originally. I was stunned to see such huge drivers delivering such weak bass. Neither punch nor depth in the bass.

If I recall correctly they were using tube amps... so it could very well have been that the amps were really the reason for the weak bass.

TMS: That would have been about the time they were ready to go so I have no doubt it could have been them.

CTSooner: Thank you.....agreed on the mid/high drivers; they are amazing. The bass and sub-bass drivers I know from the Focus SEs and once they break in after 350+ hours, they will be ready to unleash the bass I had for the past 2 1/2 years.

Roxito: I cannot speak for tube amps not supported bass, etc....but I can tell you these drivers are capable of 'pits of hell' bass as a friend of mine used to call it. I'll keep everyone posted on how these mature but based on the first 2 days and throwing some great full range stuff at them already I can tell you I have sub-bass all the way up to sweet highs and mids here already!

This pair had all 4 woofer connections brought out to the back panel which was a great idea for trying other bass amps. Did you add any of the Clarity internal wire or upgraded caps?

I did not add anything over the stock configuration for the AERIS as it is shipping now; that stated i believe the configuration does include upgraded Caps and wiring for all AERIS builds.
