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???? 😁😁
will be
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!
Thanks for your feedback. What finish did you choose?
@@SpecOfTechI went with black pearl. I also have the wavelet v1.
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!
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!
Thanks brother. Legacy Audio deserves more props in the audio world for sure.
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.
You're not wrong, I think they do make some of the best speakers out there. Thanks brother!
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.
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.
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.
That's what I like about Legacy. They do all genres of music Excellent! That is a great speaker to have.
You're right, they're quite versatile.
Congrats Barrett those are beautiful. Im looking forward to get me some Focus SE's.
You will love the Focus SE, they offer a lot of what these Aeris do.
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.
Beautiful sights and sounds for sure.
Good review I'm rocking the Elysian 2 awesome Speakers :)
I would love to hear the Elysian one day.
The Klipschy Spec of tech guy's evolving and his ears are getting more refined, it appears.
😅
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.
Thank you.
Fabulous in depth review...love it. I had a pair of Focus SE towers some time ago and from one bass head to another I have never heard anything yet like it yet to date with speakers that cost four times the price. I made a choice to integrate two REL 32s into my setup which will be more bottom end power that I'll ever need however I want the ability of just using the speakers as stand alone and still have the gut wrenching bass as an option so I am once again considering another pair of L.E. towers. In your opinion with what I have do I really need the Aeris powered bottom end (even with the Wavelet) or will the Focus SEs be the perfect match? I am running two powerful mono blocks for strictly two channel stereo. Thanks for your input.
I’m considering the Focus SEs with my MC1.25kws
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 🤞🏻
Not a big fan of the looks, but I would love to hear them in person. These are amazing speakers.
Great video, love that your enjoying your speakers. The best speakers i heard so far was the paradigm persona speakers. I havent listened to legacy yet. Hope one day i can demo legacy speakers
I would love to compare the Persona 9H to these Aeris. The trouble is finding a pair of 9H that I could borrow for my space.
Nice job and how many of those 15in subwoofer do you have? 😎👍🏻
Thank you. I have a few subwoofers in for testing and review at the moment. Sometimes being a RUclipsr can be fun, like when I get to play with subwoofers haha.
@@SpecOfTech I can’t wait! 😎👍🏻
Congrats on the new speaker, have you heard rtj and as there roughly the same price how do they compare???
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.
Very nice set
Did you get a chance to listen/watch movies in two channel? Curious how the phantom center channel worked. I’m 80% music 20% movies. With that mix, would you just get the Aeris in a two channel setup or the Focus XD with Legacy surround and center channel for a 5 channel setup? Price for those two options would be about the same.
You do know my Legacy brother that two of those 12" are built in subs (powered by the built in amp)😊😉
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!
@@SpecOfTech 10-4 my Legacy brother!!!
Awesome. I actually really like the looks of that amp. I've noticed I can grab those from a dealer locally =) ... Monoblocks too =)
Are you talking about Audio Excellence? I think you'd love the amp, treat yourself ;).
@@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.
@@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.
that center channel is masive 😲
It really is a beast, especially in person.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Why did you disable this. I have legacy Aeris and Wavelaunch as well. Agree they are so intense. So intense. But curious on why you disabled the Y algorithm. Thanks
Congratulations my friend
Is those subs going to be reviewed? Are those the new 15 inch OSD subs?
The subs are both made by Tonwinner. There is a single 18" and a dual 15", and yes I will be reviewing them.
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).
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.
@@SpecOfTech Thanks for the advice. I've always associated Legacy with speakers, but I will give their amps a fresh look.
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.
@@SpecOfTech Great looking forward to it👍
@@SpecOfTechhow is that d9000 18” sub sounding? I love my d6000 but thinking of making the upgrade
Notice how the sub is still after so many years mimicking Cerwin-Vega! ;p
Please be more specific, I'm not sure I follow you.
@@SpecOfTech Mek moy spek thi lill?
Is the 1500watts to each speaker at 4Ohms or 2 Ohms,
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. Enjoy!
You have store in manila
WOW ToneWinner Waiting for the bass
have you listened to the valors? I'm curious if they sound 60k better than these.
I haven't heard the Valor. 60K better would be in the eye of the listener lol.
I own the Aeris speakers and have heard the valors. The valors are on a different level. Personally, I do think the sound is 60k better.
Get a copy of Metallica black album in DVD audio. Unreal recording. Much better than the standard two channel recording even on 2 channel listening. I run legacy focus and silverscreen center.
Danny would say cheesy 😂
Haha, almost everything is cheesy to him. We all must remember, he is running a business selling the parts he promotes.
u should of just got nathan funk to make a speaker for you if u got the money to burn. he would make u a speaker that’s perfect for your room with any drivers etc… it’s best to do that if u have mega money.
I've never been a fan of how Nathan's speaker look. I worked hard, saved and sold lots of other equipment to be able to purchase these speakers, that doesn't mean I have mega money, or money to burn. I wish I did though lol.
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.
2:05 some new subs for playing? ;)
lol, yes sir, and these are a lot of fun.
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.
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
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.
@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.
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.
$25k, no speaker is worth that
too rich for my blood, but I just use a 7.1 bookshelf system.
Everybody decides what to spend money on. People buy 30k cars without a thought. I buy legacy audio speakers and a use Chevy avalanche. .... Perfect balance:)
@@delcampbell9558 You're cheating. You're supposed to waste your money on a expensive truck and have nothing else!
Only talking...
Play something please.
Dali Epicore 11 are better !!!
Oh, have you compared them both? Or do you own the Epikore 11?
