We are a Legacy displaying dealer and I think we can help.
We have heard the Aeris and can give you some guidance, we will be getting our display pair later in the year, currently we have Focus models on display.
My boss, Dave knows your VTL MB 185 quite well, If you contact the store ask for Dave I am sure he can give you some good advice..
The MB 185 were terrific amps and other than the bigger models were a great sweet spot product from the golden age of VTL.
They can easily power the Aeris, the Aeries are quite efficient all of Dudelestons designs have an easy impedance curves, the major difference is that many of their conventional speakers require a lot of current to control those large woofers. In the case of the Aeris and Focux XD the internal amplifier drives the woofers so now you have an easy non reactive load .
