legacy audio Aeris in black oak Marantz SA11S3 SACD player AES Cary super preamp with factory Cary mods VTL MB 225 SIG mono amps fitted with EL 34 output tubes in UL mode
Very nice room and HT setup; the Aeris look great in that room! In my last 2 HT configs I found that using front L and R full-range speakers and setting my surround pre/proc to 'no center' with the L and R speakers set to 'Large' provided a 'phantom center' that was superior to anything I'd heard before so I am not surprised to see no center channel here given what I've heard Aeris is capable of in my 4 listening sessions with them. They are truly an amazing speaker; the new drivers are amazing and a 'must hear' as you point out above!
Hi all thanks for the response Well my room size is 12ft wide by 22ft in length I built the room myself Jack of all trades lol it has 10in of sound dampening in the ceiling and the walls The floor is concrete I have been a legacy audio fan since the early 90s when I bought my first pair of Focus then Focus SE and now Aeris Before legacy Audio I used back in the day B&W Matrix 801s11 and I also had 801s3 Hifiguy yes I used the DSP Processor to dial in the Aeris with my laptop still leaning the DSP as I go along The Aeris is an amazing speaker the new AMT Tweeter is so clean Base with the tweaking of the DSP is the best I have every had period The most stunning I would have to say is its 8in midrange Aeris truly must be heard One more thing I will say on my room yes I wish it could have been 5or more ft wider but as we all know you have to work with what you have it did not effect the sound never the less
Beautiful setup, BTW. Wish you had a bigger room for those Aeris to breathe a bit more.
Were you able to use acoustic measurements and a laptop to dial in the speaker's response with the DSP processor? How easy was that process, and how do the results sound? Any problem areas (peaks/nulls, etc)?
Thank You for sharing info on the Marantz. I am eyeing that player for future. Those speakers are pretty neat! Like Scott I am also curious about your room size.
HI Milpai I previously used a Shanling T200 sacd player that I bought new 10 years ago MY SA11S3 is just a few weeks old at this point and ive only used it as a cd player so far But I can say this much Sound stage is very wide and deep Some of my old red book cd that I could not listen to I now find after years of siting on the self are now spinning again and I am loving it
Looks like a nice system. Tell us about the Aeris. What speakers have you owned? What did you listened to before buying them? How do they compare and what do they sound like? They definitely seem to have great potential for the money.
