Legacy Audio "V" Statement/Flagship Speaker...

Thank you guys for your feedback pertaining to the V above....Stereophile has some great looking photos and I am eagerly awaiting the comments from their reviewer and TAS. A new review has just popped up that adds detailed and very high praise for the speaker; don't know if the copy-past of the URL will be permitted but here it is pointing to theaudiotraveler dot com site.

Dev,...thanks for letting me know. I have not heard them an am looking for a chance to do so. What did you wind up liking of all you heard at the show?

Thanks for the feedback...I find the AERIS to be incredibly so in that regard with large degrees of presence and realism to boot. Overall, one hell of a speaker that I can spend many years enjoying. I've only been able to do 1 audio show of any note over the years, that being AXPONA back in 2011; there were a couple of rooms that sounded good enough to prompt a desire for a more detailed listen but what I found in many cases, particularly with some big expensive names is that I took away the impression that I did not hear what all the fuss was about either because the rooms were not good, the synergy of the equipment in the room was not quite right or in some cases with speakers, they were simply too hard on the ears for extended listening even though they were technically a great 'audiophile' grade speaker....I agree the best part of the shows was meeting the good people, both vendor and audio zealot alike and having great conversations, sharing meals and stories, etc....I've alos heard Munich is 'the' show if ever a chance presents itself to attend. CES does not make it too my list though; too many people and too diffuse a purpose for my tastes....Thanks again!

Thanks Tobb....the Whisper is an amazing speaker that simply disappears in the room and images like a true panel speaker but with alot more to offer (IMHO). I am keen to see the next gen of Whisper whenever that may be given Bill never rests and is continuously looking for ways to improve things. With "V" about to come out and AERIS a clear success, it will be interesting to guess about the next-gen of Whisper.

Still loving the AERIS here; I have not even grabbed a mic and the processor to do any tweaking for the room, that comes next!

BTW....the link below now collects all the various reviewer feedback links from RMAF on "V" into one location that you can click around and get to the specific articles. Some high praise appears to have been awarded from a lot of different reviewers;

If anyone wants to hear AERIS and is ever near Greenville SC, please let me know and we can grab some great music and do some serious listening.

Thanks Tobb....what city?

Dragon_vibe: I'm glad you found set of speakers that you like and must be having a good experience with. You've left several of these same extremely negative posts about Legacy build quality on almost every thread you've visited in the last few weeks. Care to move on to more positive pursuits?

Tobb: Where are you on the West Coast? I get out there for work at times....would love to hang out and listen!

Scott: Let's hook up over the in-mail system here and figure out dates to get together!

BTW....hung out at Legacy for few hours this past week since I was nearby in STL on business. Spent all that time with the Vs....what an amazing speaker. They fill the room with an amazingly dense, 3D and musical soundstage; they really are a SOTA speaker. I fear they are bigger than even my new room can handle, though they do an amazing job at extremely low volume levels still filling the room with all I mentioned above. They are incredibly lifelike in terms of the music they convey. I will say however, every time I've "Listened upwards" in the Legacy and many other lines over the years, I've left the listening room usually with a desire to move up the chain as soon as humanly possible. Thanks to the AERIS however, this is the first time I believe I've ever left the room knowing just how good what I just listened to were but also just how good what I was returning home to were as well. Believe me, if I had two sizable rooms and unlimited budget and/or better WAF, and/or a very large room so that I could have both sets of speakers up front and swap between them and/or better WAF :-) , in all of these cases, I would have BOTH "V" and AERIS beyond a shadow of a doubt given what I've just heard for the 2nd time....

Hope you all have been doing well...I recently exchanged the XILICA 4080 DSP for the newest WAVELET setup for AERIS target functions and the results are very impressive with this combo; the WAVELET removed the 2-3 issues I had left with room interaction in certain bass frequency discrete ranges, and timing and coherency of the overall image. The results are dramatically better and extremely enjoyable. I'm also testing a bespoke DC power supply replacement for stock wall wort DC power supply that ships with Wavelet. Larry at HDPlex did one hell of a job building a 100W linear, regulated DC power supply with XLR5pin to XLR5pin cable output to route audio-grade DC into the Wavelet.   The system performance and that of the Wavelet took a jump within a very short period of time with this new power supply upgrade....very impressive(!), write me here on on private email for more detail.
