Calling all Legacy Aeris owners


If you have experience with these speakers please answer this..... How directional are Aeris? How big or small is the sweet spot with them. At least one reviewer said they had a small sweet spot with poor off axis sound, but others have stated the opposite. Your thoughts ??
Thanks........

I've got a pair and the comments above echo what I would say. The only thing I would add is that depending on how far you are seated from them, there can be some variance regarding the treble section because of the height of the AMT. The further away you sit, the better the drivers integrate. If you sit near field, you'll want to pay attention to you seat height as the AMT is fairly tall on them.
A simple fix for the seat height issue is to put a pair of coasters, or similar about 1/4" thick, under the backs of each speaker. This will tilt the baffle slightly forward, and you will find the entire presentation is cleaned up and benefitted holistically. The degree to which the sound is benefitted is fairly shocking. I do this always with the Whisper. I will not set up this speaker without putting the "shims" under the back. I suggest owners work both with the toe in and baffle slope to achieve their ideal dependent upon seat position. However, I sit approx. 12' away from the speakers (not what I would call near field), and the benefit of the baffle slope adjustment is profound. 

BTW, I also do this same adjustment with big panel speakers such as the Kingsound King III electrostatic.  

I am aware that theoretically all necessary adjustments should be able to be handled by the Wavelet, that this slightly alters the parameters set in the Wavelet, and that this will cause a slight diminishment in the scale and height of the soundstage, but the trade off in terms of superior performance in other parameters is more than worth it to me. If anyone would like to suggest that my method is wrong, or that standard use is better, I'm not interested in debating my methods. 


I own Aeris using Wavelaunch processor.  Top end being driven by Anthem mono amps.  I agree they have a wide soundstage and image extremely well. I have them 9 feet apart, I am 12-13 feet away.  I have them towed in a little bit, so shooting maybe a bit past my ears.  Maybe grazing them. Ok have a large couch and all seats get solid soundstage.  I do notice if I sit about 2 feet closer I like the imaging even better.  So I think I might toe them in a bit less.  I know that's the opposite of what bill duddleson is saying, so I may try that too.  But definitely large soundstage.  I just really love them overall, but trying g to stay with the original question.
