I bought a pair of Aeris loudspeakers around the same time as you. I’ve been loving them. Your listening impressions are reinforced by my experience. Great video!

@SpecOfTech Месяц назад

Thanks for your feedback. What finish did you choose?

@Hal2audio 14 дней назад

Been looking forward to this video since you purchased the Legacy speakers. I am sure you will do another one on them. Please consider reviewing the entire system,side and rear speakers as well. I love my music but my family and I are big time home theater enthusiasts so you total review of your system is much appreciated. Once again congratulations on your purchase!

@vettesweetnos Месяц назад

Beautiful sights and sounds for sure.

Great review! having seen the Aeris in your room, there is only one comment to make....... STUNNING! The build quality is flawless, design....just wow! Congrats on the new system! ???maybe 1 day???? 😁😁

@scottt3566 Месяц назад

Great video brother! I was torn between the Aeris and Perlisten s7t’s. Went with the Perlisten’s and couldn’t be happier but I bet I would have been just as happy with the Legacy’s. I’ll definitely be getting Legacy iV series amps though as I expand my system.

@SpecOfTech Месяц назад

I agree, at this level, it's hard to go wrong. You'll love the Legacy amp, so much power and one of the best looking amps on the market IMO.

@fuddrock Месяц назад

Congrats Barrett those are beautiful. Im looking forward to get me some Focus SE's.

@SpecOfTech Месяц назад

You will love the Focus SE, they offer a lot of what these Aeris do.

@michaelduncan123 Месяц назад

I would love to have a pair of those. I know from watching many videos and reading reviews that legacy audio make some of the best speakers out there. Enjoy your system, Barrett.

@SpecOfTech Месяц назад

You're not wrong, I think they do make some of the best speakers out there. Thanks brother!

@victormoreno2767 7 дней назад

Try to get a legacy focus 20/20 and by amp them with at least 500 watts in the subwoofer section. You will be more than happy.

@markpommett5712 Месяц назад

I head the Legacy Whispers (discontinued now) and those were the best speakers I've ever heard - better than B&W. The midrange is so holographic and true-to-scale. You have a sick system. I would be cranking Metallica for sure!

Congratulations my friend

@MattRobbins-ui1cs Месяц назад

Your review is awesome and I’ve had my eye on that very same speaker. Since there is so much control with the sound does component matching even matter with this speaker?

@SpecOfTech Месяц назад

You're right, component matching is far less beneficial than having the ability to tune the speaker. So it isn't as important, no, but some may not want to delve into the intricacies of the processor and may just want to run the factory tune and match components.

@tomcede6428 24 дня назад

Thanks for this and the previous videos. Could you please show how you connect your AV receiver to the Legacy wavlet. I have not found anything except to confusing instructions from Legacys website.

@SpecOfTech 23 дня назад

Legacy includes a Y splitter and some XLR cables with the speakers. It's just your XLR outputs from the AVR/Pre-Pro, into the Y splitter, then Left channel into input 1&3 on the Wavelaunch and right channel into inputs 2&4. They do include a simple instruction sheet in the box with the cables as well. It's really simple if you follow that pamphlet. The reason they do it this way is because there is a stereo algorithm they run through the processor. I disabled that algorithm by muting channels 3 & 4.

@Linkone7 Месяц назад

Not a big fan of the looks, but I would love to hear them in person. These are amazing speakers.

@Palindromeguy1 23 дня назад

Congrats on the new speaker, have you heard rtj and as there roughly the same price how do they compare???

@SpecOfTech 23 дня назад

thank you! Sorry, I've never heard RTJ's speakers. I'm sure RTJ sound amazing, as they are the same as their JTR brothers. What sold me on Legacy is that they sound amazing, look even better and they are tunable with the Wavelaunch processor.

@yardi20005 Месяц назад

Hi spec I just noticed in the video there was a tonwinner sub with six ports in the enclosure on the rightside of the rack , is that a new model?

It sure is. Stay tuned on the channel for some upcoming videos on them. These subs have some intense output.

@technomation1992 Месяц назад

Good review-I’ve been a Legacy fan for ten years. For my HT Atmos system, I have the Legacy Aeris’s (in Sapele Pommele), Marquis XD center, a single Xtreme XD sub, 4 Calibre surrounds (also in Sapele), and 4 Sonance VP88 ceiling speakers. I recently upgraded to an Anthem AVM 90 processor (no Wavelet in my Legacy HT system). A while ago, it seems you were disappointed in ARC Genesis room correction for multiple subs. Have you tried ARC with the Aeris’s in an HT setup? Also wondering what amps you would recommend with my Legacy setup (my amps are 10+ years old).

@SpecOfTech Месяц назад

That is a beautiful system you have. I have tried ARC with the Aeris, which works great for home theater, but I prefer to tune the speakers without ARC for 2 channel. Why not get the Legacy Audio amps? They pair very well with their speakers, and they look just as good as their speakers.

@technomation1992 Месяц назад

@@SpecOfTech Thanks for the advice. I've always associated Legacy with speakers, but I will give their amps a fresh look.

Awesome. I actually really like the looks of that amp. I've noticed I can grab those from a dealer locally =) ... Monoblocks too =)

@SpecOfTech Месяц назад

Are you talking about Audio Excellence? I think you'd love the amp, treat yourself ;).

@psyphonyxaudio Месяц назад

@@SpecOfTech ... Yessir.. I saw their Mono version also. I need to know why these are any better than PS Audio M700 that also use ICE... Also.. how many other small brands like BuckEye. . VTV ... Orchard Audio.. all have really amazing power / performance amps for less than half those costs. Really have to wonder. .. I hope I can compare them.

@SpecOfTech Месяц назад

@@psyphonyxaudio Honestly, my personal feeling on it, is that you aren't buying the Legacy amp because it is vastly out performing other ICE amps. It performs very well, yes, but it's mostly about the aesthetic and brand IMO. I went into it with that mentality. With that said, I'd still love to see them compared with the more affordable competition.

@salahuddinmalik3787 Месяц назад

Great & comprehensive review of these speakers. U have passion to describe each detail, really appreciate. From your video about Tonewinner subs I decided to purchase & recently received D8000, wow amazing subwoofer with dual 15" active drivers with 1500 watts of power. In this video saw D8000 pro & D9000, hope u will review soon. Good luck 🤞🏻

@kennethlui2268 27 дней назад

I have the Focus XD and been thinking about upgrading to the Aeris. I know you had the Focus XD before. Would you compare them sonically? How much better than the Focus XD? Great review. I listened to them at the LA T.H.E show last weekend and yes, their bass is mind blowing especially at $23k. Many speakers in the $50k and higher range can’t beat the Aeris deep bass. I used the same song for the comparison. Legacy is excellent in value.

@ryangonyer9498 24 дня назад

Is those subs going to be reviewed? Are those the new 15 inch OSD subs?

@SpecOfTech 24 дня назад

The subs are both made by Tonwinner. There is a single 18" and a dual 15", and yes I will be reviewing them.

@HPMIKE55 Месяц назад

Nice job and how many of those 15in subwoofer do you have? 😎👍🏻

@tombillard5264 Месяц назад

have you listened to the valors? I'm curious if they sound 60k better than these.

@SpecOfTech Месяц назад

I haven't heard the Valor. 60K better would be in the eye of the listener lol.

@ridirefain6606 Месяц назад

IMHO Legacy is the brand for a true full range and accurate sound, being one of the few makers that design products that let you hear every instrument and note plaid on a recording. However, am surprised you found the treble on the Aeris and Focus so unflinching? I find my pair of Focus SE to be fairly forgiving on less than perfect recordings. I am using tube electronics though. Did get good results with a pair of Classe SS Monos but found myself going back to valves after a few months. Just felt they allowed the Legacy to render fuller sense of realism on the human voice than SS amps do. In any case congrats and enjoy.

@SpecOfTech Месяц назад

Thank you.

@joes3800 Месяц назад

Legacy and Perlisten and JTR sem to be the only high end companies that provide comprehensive and model-matched home theater systems. Have you bought, or are you buying, Legacy surround speakers?

@SpecOfTech Месяц назад

Yes, Legacy has a line up of pro and home theater speakers. I bought a pair of their bookshelves for rear surrounds and pair of of their Pixel on wall speakers for the side surrounds.

@Prerich45 Месяц назад

You do know my Legacy brother that two of those 12" are built in subs (powered by the built in amp)😊😉

@SpecOfTech Месяц назад

I sure do, I mentioned they are a hybrid speaker with powered woofers in the video. When I am referencing that there is no need for a subwoofer, I mean the addition of an external subwoofer. Cheers, Legacy bro!

Now that you have true audiophile speakers with world class imaging and impactful bass, the following tracks will make you stay glued listening for hours: Make us Stronger by Ghost Rider, Le Temps Passe, live at Cigale 1988, by Michel Jonasz, Duende by Bozzio Levins and Stevens, Stimela (live at the Blue Note 1993) by Hugh Masekela; On EDM genre checkout: Zulu Vodoo by Kayla Scintilla, Queen Mary by Francine Thirteen, As you fade away by NeFFex, and Differently by Marian Hill.

@Snskch3 Месяц назад

I think the best type of description comparison for me would be something llike: (the kef r11 is similar in sound signature and is 90 percent as good) meaning the extra cost for diminishing return would be getting 10 percent better than a similar sounding speaker for the extra cost. That is a total hypothetical situation. Just trying to be helpful. I never plan to listen to these and it would help me with the knowledge of how certain speakers sound.

I have to ask. The 120s are $20,000 least can your Honestly say they are worth $20,000 more sound? That's is a shit load of money for most.

@SpecOfTech Месяц назад

Honestly, it all depends on the individual. There is no way for me to answer that in a way that applies to everyone. For someone with the budget for Legacy Aeris, it might be worth it, for someone that doesn't have the budget, it's most likely not worth it. The law of diminishing returns varies greatly from person to person.

@@SpecOfTech fantastic answer my friend. Great looking speakers forsure

@djparra41 Месяц назад

This truly is a situation where if you think to yourself “is it worth it?” The only true answer is no it’s not. That’s why this hobby (obsession) is endless. Everyone slowly inches their way up instead of going from a $50 Bluetooth speaker to $100k system. And honestly it’s the best way, just like those time where you “never knew what you’ve been missing”; you wouldn’t have any idea what it is you’ve gotten. I’ve listened to systems up to $250k and soon over a million dollar 2ch system. As I use those as bench marks I don’t genuinely believe I’m ready to appreciate them as my own. Just ride the wave my man and enjoy the journey.

@jamiesmith8307 Месяц назад

@djparra41 ive also hear $80,000 2 channel setups and it was still not much better than a $10,000. I spent $20,000 on an upgrade anthem and paradigm from a $2000 klipsch and sony and wasn't that much better. I think all of this is such small gains in sound for very big dollars spent. Law of Diminishing return hits big in this hobby. Getting out of it soon because it just drives me crazy how some people get on. Way to much foolishness with it all forsure and no matter what ya got it's never good enough or this is wrong and that's wrong.

@djparra41 Месяц назад

Agreed, I do genuinely think most of the money past $20,000 goes towards aesthetics and/or exclusivity. And that being said if you were into DIY, you could probably get to that 99.9% around three grand. I would say my weakest Link is room treatment, but since it is a common room in the house, I'm limited aesthetically if you know what I mean haha.
