Legacy Aeris and amplification.
Thanks....those AVMs are fine amps; you cannot go wrong stepping up the 8.2 though. It would be helpful to know what you are looking to achieve in terms of sound changes before you decide upon an amplification direction to take. The Raven's, Esote...

"Legacy are a great choice and so is the Shahinian Obelisk but they have different presentations.  The Obelisks would likely be easier to integrate into the room no matter which wall you place them on."+1 on Legacy; I've owned many models of their... 
Legacy Aeris and amplification.
Assuming you are asking about what 2-channel or mono-block options are best for the top-end of AERIS as you will be using the built-in dual ICE amps to drive the bass and sub-bass drivers.  I mention this only because there is a build option that ... 
Tune of the Day
Don't sell it! SAGA is too good to part with (IMHO). Another prog-rock group that I enjoy, this time out of Germany, only have 4 albums but I like each one is "ALIAS EYE". Very good recordings of some fun music in varying styles from more melodiou... 
Tune of the Day
Saga, Worlds Apart"On the loose"SAGA is an amazing band,...have followed them since the 80s. All the albums are great.  There is one live album ("IN TRANSIT") they did many, many years ago with a great version of "On The Loose" and many other of t...

czarivey: To your earlier comment about having experience with this, would you PM me; I’m interested in knowing more. Where are you located? 
Elrod speakers cables?
I realize this thread is long dormant but i am have owned the Signature Gold speaker cables from Elrod for several years with great results and currently run the Statement Gold speaker cables for a little over a year. The speaker cables are just a... 
TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they?
Yes,...saw that last year; Arnie is a great guy whose system I've stared at many times over the years!  I meant to ask him why the stack of 3 G1s were necessary when that sub or a single G25 would be ample for bass and sub-bass in that room for 2-... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
Oh boy,...here we go again <LOL>! 
TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they?
That is certainly true but 6 of any sub could very well remove all the music from the room of this size and leave only bass and sub-bass notes LOL! 
TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they?
As life has dictated that I am breaking in the R1s at a slower pace (only about 7-8 hours of playing time per day 5 days per week), they've crossed 300 hour as of yesterday but the differences in the speaker as it matures are making themselves ver... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
Yes...long past time to move on past this thread which I’ll also try to do after sending this...dynaquest: Going back a few layers, Dr. Waldrep is a recognized authority on multi-channel recording and mastering technologies and I have extremely hi... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
Guys: It's a tad bit hypocritical to be put off by someone for insulting / 'defaming' a post when you openly insult everyone who does not agree with you/your stance on cables not making a difference viz. your broad stroke statements about them as ... 
Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation
Some fine choices here including the ATCs for rock music etc....Legacy Focus SEs are very versatile and fantastic speakers at their price point or any other. The new version with the ICE amp(s) for the bass plus Wavelet would like the room on fire...
