Legacy Audio unveiled the AERIS speaker system at Rocky Mountain Audiofest, where it received both critical and consumer acclaim. "Yes, the Whisper is probably more on certain levels, but what I heard here was something new from Legacy. Color me “intrigued” — intrigued enough that I asked Bill for a review pair." -Scot Hull, Part-Time Audiophile Best Sound (Highest Value) "The Legacy Aeris ($16,900) powered by AVM at the top end of my category." "I was particularly impressed by the Aeris’ ability to play loudly without congestion, the ultra-smooth and musical treble from the dual air-motion transformer tweeter, true subterranean bass extension, and dynamic ease. Sensitivity is a whopping 95dB. The Aeris is a lot of speaker for the money particularly when you consider the built-in bass amplification and DSPeaker room-correction system." -Robert Harley, Editor, The Absolute Sound |
"As with other Legacy speakers I've heard, the scale was believable with all manner of instruments. Live recordings had the right decay so you feel like you are sitting in on a live performance. AMT tweeters are showing up in lots of speakers these days, but Legacy seems to do it at least a little better than the competition."
