Legacy Aeris owners which amp do you use and why?

We are a displaying Legacy dealer and we have had a few amplifiers on our Aeris,  

The Aeris/Wavelet combo with a great amplfier and streaming source makes one fantastic package that challenges way more expensive setups.

We tried the 100 watt Manley Snappers and they were good, we tried the Electcompaniet AW 400 perfered the tubes and the best was a set of 375 watt CJ Monoblocks. 

We are entertaining  replacing the older CJ Art amplifiers with either the $26k Raven Audio Monoblocks or the $19k Zesto Monoblocks as we have had the older ART ampliifer for quite  a while and are looking at playig with something new. 

The legacy's do seem to like power even though they are efficeint, the better the amp the better they sound.

 What is the budget for a reasonably priced amp?

Is the Line Magnetic not doing it for you? 

As per spending $15k on a $15k speaker, the Aeris are $25k with a Wavelet and we have found on many occassions that good electronics may cost twice what the speakers cost. 

As per sensitivity, vs power, in principle it depends on how loud you are playing, we have found that even with speakers with self amplified bass like the Persona 9H which are 96db or the Aeris more power gets you cleaner with greater peaks when played at louder listening levels. 

and in reality the Aeris are 92db the spec of 95db is measured based on an elevated voltage, and yes 92db is still pretty efficient.

If you want a very cool terrific amplifier for a great price the Synthesis A100t is a 100 watt push pull KT 66 tube integrated which actually has a terrific built in dac for $7,500.00 an absolutetly killer integrated.

The Synthesis will have much greater kick then the SET line magnetic.
