Audio Research DSI 200 integrated amp
Check out a Coda 5.5 at 5000.00 pure warm class A. 
CODA CSIb vs. HEGEL H-300 INTEGRATED
Of any SS amps I have owned or listened to Coda is closest to a tube.Add the new 7X and the difference is negligible. 
Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
Matt check out Coda's SS amps either their 15.0 or 33.0,for that matter if money is not an issue their 60.0 monos are phenomenal.Any one of the three will make you go Mcintosh Who? 
Legacy Audio AERIS: RMAF/listening impressions?
Dragon the room has no real bearing on your choice.The Aeris is a phenomenal speaker for the money.Having said I don't know how it can replace the new Whisper VD or for that matter even without the new AMT.It's really a question of dollars 17k or ... 
Coda 7X
Audozen just for the record the variations of the new 7X are are a 7E 4500.00 and a 7XE 12,500.00.The 7XE is an integrated 7E and 7X.Both the 7E and 7XE will be available by year end.Either integrated or separate with the new 7E they replicate a D...

Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
Matt I felt that way about my MC352 until I heard an Ayon tube. I also thought the MC352 was much better than the MC402.Less power in the MC352 but much warmer in its presentation.Then landed back with SS in a Coda 15.0 7X pre combo.SS Nirvana!

@ Zeph its two pair binding posts 
Has anyone listened to Legacy speakers?
They are in LA.As for the 10% its based on weight per sq ft.Helix has a large foot print than Aeris.I'd have to check on the biding posts as these were a special pair hence the four channel. 
Some Axpona thoughts
CSM your last response is little different in the fact you acknowledge they were very good just not your cup of tea.It's all about personal preference.I spent several intimate hours with them and they are very impressive however even without the A...

Just for the record Zeph or for those who may be concerned,the difference between the Aeris and Helix is only 10% or 10 lbs per sqft.That and why do you need subs with Helix when Whispers with subs are close to the Helix? 
Best Bookshelf speaker 1300.00 budget
Any showroom who wouldn't allow you to audition with your own amplification is not worthy of consideration!In a 10 x 12 if you need sub amplification ask yourself if price is everything? 
Has anyone listened to Legacy speakers?
Umm not St. Louis but no worries! And not six channels but four.These are the forerunners to the upcoming offering and only one pair were built. 
Topnotch BluRay Concert.....
Stevie Wonder and the daughter albeit not bad certainly not top 20!Joe Bonamasa's new BR certainly worthy of note.As for Deep Purple Gilain would do better as a comedian!
