Legacy Aeris owners which amp do you use and why?
@jackd the speakers are 92 dB/1 W/1 M and stated impedance is 4 Ohm. I have no guarantee that they could dip a bit with respect to impedance. At this time the recommendation is to feed it 100 Watts of clean power when needed in my room and listeni... 
Legacy Aeris owners which amp do you use and why?
@mckinneymike, thanks I did get myself a tube amp Line Magnetic 508ia here from Audiogon a demo version. It sounds great with my paradigm studio 40 v3. Sometimes I do see vu meter hitting 50% +. I got myself a new pair of speakers, Legacy Aeris an... 
Legacy Wavelet as a preamp , any user feedback?.
I need room correction along with Aeris speaker. So I will be using it but not sure how good a general purpose preamp is it. I don’t need a phone input since I am happy to have a separate phono stage. 
Legacy Aeris and amplification.
@zephyr24069 and @tmcdade which pre-amp where you using with Aeris.Which McIntosh do either of you recommend?. I am consider class D options like ATI AT543NC, Nord. Class A/B like Coda, ATI, Adcom etc. How do Class D perform w.r.t to Class A/B wit... 
BAT VK-P10SE Owners -- What NOS tubes?
For the 6C45 I was wondering if I can get these on ebay.  
Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier
@teajay you must be pointing to Coda Ts V1 ?. What is #8 you are talking about it is not in on their website?.I am seriously considering Coda since it seems they work well with Legacy Aeris. It seems they use Coda amps (not Ts V1) for internal tes... 
Is there actually a difference?
How the amp performs depends very much on your speakers. It it is easy to slap a pretty chassis and spend money on marketing and callit a Lamborghini of AMPs.The exponential curve of SPL vs power requirements make amp design a trade off. Also a tr... 
BAT VK-P10SE Owners -- What NOS tubes?
It has been a while and I wanted to resurrect this thread. I got myself an used BAT VK-P10SE and it is 8 years old and I was told changing tubes is an good idea.To my dismay the choices are bewildering and so are the prices for some of the tubes. ... 
Audiophile class AB vs Hypex N-core class D technologies .
Bump anyone tried ATI class D vs Nord vs ApolloThe amps from other side of Atlantic look really nice?. 
ATI AT543NC recent user feedback?
Will this amp serve a 2 Ohm impedance when necessary?. 
Line Magnetic 508ia and the Elusive 805 Tube
@shkong78 Legacy Aeris is what I got myself. Heard a lot of speakers in RMAF 2018 recently and this is what I thought is best sound and value to me. Got the Wavelet too a must in my opinion. 
Making a difficult decision

Making a difficult decision
@audiomaze, wrong comparison, nova150 working well for Paradigm is not the same as working well with your speaker. Paradigms are 92 dB / 89 dB and are stable at 8 ohm (if I remember right) very easy to drive and they have been like this for someti... 
Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics.
Unless you have long runs of speaker cable Bluejeans top cable is 10 AWG and is really good. I don't mind budget cable as long it provides same value which is the optimal thing to do anyway.   
ATI AT543NC recent user feedback?
