Looking for input on Legacy Audio speakers purchase.

I have a pair of McIntosh MC611 Mono blocks and I'm considering 2 different setups. 
1. Purchase a McIntosh C2700 Preamp and Legacy Focus SE speakers.
2. Purchase a Wavelet with Aeris speakers.
I have a VPI Scout turntable and a Primare NP5 Prisma streamer using JRiver. I may someday add a PrePro for surround with the C2700 or the Wavelet in bypass mode for music.

To the OP, do yourself a favor and call Audio Classics to set up a demo.  They carry the Legacy line as well as McIntosh and have them in stock. I have heard the Aeris with the wavelet with McIntosh 1.2KW mono blocks.  Part of my jaw is still on the floor at Audio Classics.  Simply amazing sound.

@wgapel,

I wasn’t aware they had powered and non powered versions.  I do know the Wavlet was used as the preamp and the speakers had speaker wires attached to them. The sound was so effortless.   I did notice the monoblocks meters would swing up to 600 watts at times. I have a MC302 amp it it is very powerful.  If you think you need less power, perhaps the new MC462 @ 450 watts per channel would be enough for them.  Although, I am a firm believer that you can never have too much power.
