Legacy Audio Aeris - My Take

Part 3
The Sound without the Wavelet II

I anticipated hearing loose, boomy bass and a less cohesive soundstage without the Wavelet. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The bass remained tight and well-controlled, still delivering some of the best bass I've ever heard. I'm comparing this to Wilson speakers, which are known for their bass performance. I don't mean to suggest that the Aeris outperforms the Wilsons; I'm merely stating that I can't remember better bass, and the Wilsons were exceptionally good in that department. As I played track after track, the sound remained visceral, dimensional, and cohesive without the Wavelet. Perhaps there's even greater purity in the recording that I'm hearing?

I attempted to remove the Waversa LAN network filter but found that after about three minutes, I had to put it back in. The sound became noisy, and the Aeris speakers proved to be quite sensitive, more so than any other speakers I've owned, in terms of their sensitivity to the source. I've been using a $1400 Serbian-designed preamp in place of the Wavelet. My gut feeling is that this allowed the Allnic D10000 DAC to showcase more of its inherent purity of sound. The Allnic DAC doesn't employ output transformers or output coupling caps, and when I mentioned that it doesn't sound like a DAC, I truly mean it. Music simply flows through it. I found the Holo May KTE DAC to be a fine instrument, and while it was the best DAC I owned before the Allnic, I don't miss it either.

Cables and Power Supplies

As I mentioned earlier, the Aeris and the upstream components, particularly the Wavelet, require high-quality cables and power supplies. Linear power supplies are difficult to find (at least until yesterday), and I've been using the provided switcher. Without a doubt, the sound will improve with better power supplies and power cables. I've had the opportunity to use a 3m Audioquest Pegasus on loan and hope to test a Kabula Sosna cable someday. I also used the DH-Labs Revelation cable, which I purchased for the connection between my turntable and the Wavelet—it was spectacular. The speakers come well-equipped with a full complement of cables and other accessories to help you get up and running without the need for online orders or trips to the hardware store. I like that!

What I Didn't Like

The $15 remote control. I don't understand the strategy here. I would have gladly paid $50 or more for a high-quality remote control. In fact, I recently spent $32 on an AliExpress remote with only four buttons, made from milled aluminum. The remote that came with the Wavelet has unnecessary extra buttons, and the volume up and down buttons are painfully slow. The Wavelet offers fine-tuning of the volume control, and perhaps I'm using it incorrectly?

The Wavelet screen. It appears to be made of glass and reflects the floor, which, in my case, is white carpet. I can see the white carpet clearly, but the display is hard to read. I've placed a large black cloth on the floor in front of the screen to alleviate the issue, but it's not an ideal solution. Perhaps I can find a non-reflective coating or tape to address this problem. Of course, I could also consider relocating the Wavelet higher on my rack, but the higher areas are reserved for sources that I can easily access.

Regarding streaming, it's essential to ensure your network is well-maintained. The Aeris will reveal any network noise you haven't addressed. This isn't so much a dislike as it is a heads-up for potential buyers.

I ordered extra coats of finish for the speakers, but I can't discern whether that's what I received. This is a minor point, as I don't know the difference.

I will continue my thoughts on these speakers as they continue to settle in, the cables too as well as the Eventual LPS for the Wavelet which was surely handicapped.

Side Note:
It was confirmed by Legacy Audio, the Wavelet II produced not output in their testing. The first they've seen of this. A new one has been shipped.
I could never be a good reviewer. Aside from not having great writing skills, I don't know when to stop when it comes to moving cables, components, and tweaks, and this is especially true of the Aeris. The Wavelet, of course, adds another dimension, having a 'built-in' DAC, a preamp, and room correction. And then there's the cables. I have logged hundreds of hours of testing. My wife too, is not one to let anything she feels is amiss. But this is our journey, so here it goes.
The Wavelet II arrived, and so did the 3m Kubala Sosna balanced cable to do battle with the Pegasis and the Revelation. I won't go into details, but for our ears, the Revelation was the winner, giving the music more focus, clarity, and especially space, and my wife likes space. My wife noted a 'buzz', for lack of a better word, with some tracks. It bothered her ears. I didn't note that through my listening but did take notice that when music, and it does especially with rock music, everyone is playing at the same time, of course it sounds a bit busy. That's just normal for this former concertgoer. So I swapped my venerable Verastar XLR's for a pair of Allnic RCA's. That was surprising. For some reason, the Verrastars did not like the connection between the Wavelet and the Allnic integrated. The Allnic RCA removed this 'buzz' to an extent, and my wife was happier as was I (you know happy wife hap..). The system was sounding fine except for one nagging issue I had with the setup. I did not like the idea of having my Allnic Dac reprocessed through the Wavelet. Remember, I really liked the sound without the Wavelet. The Wavelet brings in room correction, which works well. It has tone controls and user-defined presets for various sound profiles, depending on what one is listening to. But it loses something too. It can't compete with the Allnic's DAC by itself. Around this time, I got word that my buddy had to give up his Usher Grand Tower speakers. They won't fit in his new home, so he offered them to us at a very good price. We know these speakers. The best speakers we had ever listened to, while listening to symphonies or classical music, I started thinking... Then arrived a Linear Tube Audio power supply for the Wavelet. Let it be known that this is an essential piece of gear when purchasing or owning the Wavelet. This added depth and clarity and widened the stage a bit, as expected. At the end of the day, it was the DH-Labs Revelations that won us over. Everywhere we put them, someone had cleaned a window into the music.
The Wavelet in full control.
Now that we have a proper power supply feeding the Wavelet, how might it sound if I removed the Allnic DAC and employed the Wavelet's built-in DAC all by itself? Not just that, I removed the Allnic T2000 30th integrated and replaced that with my BMC-S1, a 200WPC 100-lb German-bred amplifier. Upon first listen, it was somewhat laughable. The sheer amount of clarity and dynamics was startling. My wife loved it. The 'buzz' was gone, and space? Now we have an amazing amount of separation, and while I wouldn't say one was placing instruments in specific locations on the stage, they were clearly defined and occupied their own space. Percussion instruments rang distinctly, often well in front of the speakers. Again, my wife really loved what she was hearing and remarked that this is what she's been waiting for. My own feelings were somewhat doubtful at first. - continued

Yes, that sounds great, and what I just wrote is fairly accurate on my account. But I look for tone. I fell in love with the Allnic due to its tone. What was missing was that the music's soul seemed to enter the dark side. On one hand, for instance, in Radiohead's song 'Fake Plastic Trees', I never noted the hundreds of times when Thom's vocals starting out in this song said "Fake plastic watering can". I never knew what he said. And song after song, it's like, Oh, I don't need much of a lyric sheet because I can now understand certain lyrics! Even more so, instruments I had never noticed before now appear within the framework of the song. Sade too; for instance, there are so many different instruments within her recordings that we found it startling and actually really fun to listen to. With older music too, the recordings are fresher, more alive, and more nuanced. I mean, you appreciate the artist more for the details, while with the Allnic, it more captures the soul of the song. So the music changed somewhat. My brain appreciated the change, the detail, the space, and all that went along with this. I'll call it what it is: a radical change. When I was listening to the Allnic components, I was really connected to the tone. Even playing Eric Clapton's "EC Was Here" and an old mid-seventies live album, I could hear Eric's guitar resonance. It was just something I did not think about ever, and I still can't believe what is buried in the recording. Whereas the Wavelet brings forth energy and space, the Allnic brings a different type of space, more rooted in the foundation, giving warmth without the sacrifice of detail for details sake. I think (and I'm probably wrong), but maybe, with some music, my wife doesn't prefer the second-order harmonic? And still, with the constant changes, I don't believe she heard much of what was going on with the rapid changes of the system without the Wavelet. And then another cable showed up. It's an RCA from a company called UIT I believe. This cable replaces the Allnic RCA that sits between the Wavelet and the amplifier. This was a welcome change for me as it added a bit more midrange and was not tilting the music towards clinical. Less DAC sounding, if you will. Not Allnic DAC-like, but better—for me. The wife was OK with the change as well. I'm still unwrapping (my brain that is) the Allnic T2000 integrated Wavelet compatibility. The T2000 plays much better with the Usher Grand Tower than with the Aeris Wavelet, but by itself—no Wavelet—it's amazing.

I know it sounds like an Allnic review now; sorry about that, but I am making a point here. The Aeris speakers, on their own, will play with great authority or subtle nuance, depending on the wide scale of everything upstream from the speakers. From network to streaming gear, vinyl to phonostage, but especially cables. Will one go through hundreds of hours of tuning? Maybe not to our extent, but that's part of the fun, right?
So our 'Aeris" setup is with the Wavelet II. I'm not unhappy; in fact, blessed. Remember, "I started thinking..". Upstairs is a much larger room. Just for the heck of it, we moved the Allnic gear upstairs, where our Buchardt S400 MKII's sat silently, and now the Usher Grand Towers. I moved the Pro-ject RS2-T upstairs so we can spin CD's until we get a streamer transport. Music throughout the house!
The Aeris continue to sing at a very high level. They telegraph the recording, not getting around that. But they don't error with overly aggressive highs, as pop music seems to favor. Bass is there when it's in the recording and missing when it's not. Bass is solid with and without the Aeris. Your room will decide.
 
Legacy Audio Aeris - My Take, probably reads more like a novel. I'm hopeful it's not too disjointed as I had to process changes I made in my brain - the Wife's to - as we learned how to extract what these speakers are capable of.

Now we have the Usher Grand Towers in the main room upstairs. It's not a sit down and listen critically room, you can I think, but there's currently a Christmas tree in the way!

The Aeris are sounding great in the 'Audio Room' using the BMC/Wavelet electronics. As I mentioned, I can't get behind another DAC conversion with the D10000. It will play happily with the Ushers and a good streamer.

Thanks for your comments!

@MichaelHiFi , have you been able to get your sweeps done on the New Wavelet? I do recommend you send Ed an email with your Wavelet serial number and have them look at your sweeps, it helped me a LOT! I am still waiting for the slow boat from China for the Ghent DC cable, it says it's in JAMAICA, NY 11430, Departed Shipping Partner Facility, USPS Awaiting Item for 5 days now since Nov 18th. It's not moving.
Yes, the sweeps were performed and as a bonus, Ed noted that my 'normal' 85 on the volume control was overloading the measurement. Ed pays attention. He had me lower to 77 to get a better calibration.

Interesting, Ed had me drop to 79 for my sweeps. I just did them again a week ago as I made some treatment changes to the room, it just keeps getting better.

Nice!
I just noted you have what I need, the Aurender N200 Music server to front my Allnic DAC. And you have the same speaker cables.
 
I put a bid on the Aeries that were at the 22 axpona, but they were fully active so when I was outbid I let them get away. I enjoyed the effortless presentation and am a sucker for their looks. Congrats.
 
Hopefully 2.2.1 will address that.
Hey Ed, can I ask;
Address what? And can I assume 2.2.1 is a Wavelet update?

I might do a 'Take Two'.
I wasn't a fan of having my Allnic D10000 DAC playing in front of the Wavelet as it was - I feel - compromised having to go through another DAC conversion. Yes it did improve the sound, shall I say, giving it some soul, a bit more meat on the bones and improving on spatial cues but along came a rose.

Roses are what every Wavelet should have. Game changed my system.

The volume should be a 75-85 range not 85 only.
 
Great review, @MichaelHiFi! I hope you're still enjoying your pair in 2025.

After six months of owning mine, I don't know that most people shopping floor standers in this price segment fully appreciate how well thought out and built these are. Thought I'd leave my thoughts here for others researching these:

(1) Open baffle upper section

The way the "Aer"is reproduces reverb from drums and percussion is open, airy and uncongested in a way that makes it difficult for me to imagine ever going back to a fully boxed design, regardless of price point. To draw on another reference point, they are not quite as open sounding as - for example - the much smaller Qualio iQ with its completely unobstructed tweeter but the Aeris does offer enough of the "dipole" experience while avoiding the room modes & placement challenges that come with a full range open baffle speaker like the Spatial M4.

(2) Upper drivers

The Aeris uses extremely low-distortion mid-range driver plus a very large surface AMT (98db sensitive) and it shows: the resulting clarity is truly next level up from anything I had heard up to that point, at basically any (tolerable) volume level. Vocals and guitars sound amazingly present and detailed, with deep soundstaging that can be manipulated, depending on how you blend the output levels (db) of the upper section with the front facing woofers. More on that later.

(3) Voicing

During measurements, I discovered that the upper speaker section is steep-slope high-pass filtered through the passive crossover network at 100Hz. At first, I found this a bit curious, given the large midrange driver size (10"!), but once I remembered that fully open baffle designs like the Spatial M4 require large clearances from rear and side walls for a good reason (unwanted hard to correct bass reflections), this configuration made a ton of sense.

(4) Power needs

At 95db/1m sensitivity we're in tube amp territory. I've been a solid-state guy my whole life but after noticing that my amp has yet to exceed even 1W (!) of output with measured peaks of 89db at my listening position, I'm now confident that an upgraded Dynaco ST-35 should have no problems driving these beautifully. A note on the 4 Ohm impedance: Legacy rates these honestly, similar to how Dynaudio approaches this. Most 8 Ohm rated speakers will dip far outside of the 20% tolerance window at certain points on the frequency response curve, so I wouldn't hesitate trying a tube amp before making assumptions to the contrary, especially considering the 100Hz high-pass filter. This should help minimize the disadvantages of tube amps such as low damping factor and the beauty is that a good processor will allow one to raise the high pass filter frequency further, for example to 150Hz or 250Hz and then adjust the subwoofer low-pass filter accordingly. Which is a good segway into the next section.

(5) Bass
While many passive floor standers can reach down to 30hz or even into the 20s (on paper), IME drivers (and cabinets) often struggle somewhat with the sound reproduction at those frequencies and simply don't fully cover the audible frequency spectrum of deep bass notes. To combat this "rolled off" bass response, powered subwoofers have seen wider adoption for stereo listening, with many - however - finding it difficult to blend them well, even with the help of room correction software.

Enter the Aeris: the two 12" subwoofers have a combined output surface of a single 17" subwoofer (!), enabling this single-cabinet 2.2 speaker "system" to reach down to 17Hz without the use of a port. Don't think you'll need that? - You're wrong. Until you've played low organ notes, acoustic bass or some drums in your favorite tracks through a system that not only truly gets down to 20Hz or beyond, but also delivers that bass cohesively in a line with the upper drivers and in a clean way, you just don't know what you've been missing. In the case of Aeris though, integrating the powered subs into the cabinet in this way is not just a nice-to-have: the subwoofer also have to cover the 80-110Hz spectrum (or above if you choose to cross over at a higher frequency). Here, bass output is 100% source-locatable. The end result is effortless bass and with some time spent on dialing in the in-room response the overall delivery is incredibly musical, dynamic and punchy with the sense of unlimited distortion free headroom. It even sounded great when I used Audyssey XT32 which doesn't have fully fledged bass management capabilities where multiple subs are used in concert to fill in nulls or smooth out peaks created by the other. The beefy cabinet construction (180lb each) sounds completely resonance free to me and the bottom firing passive radiator is another excellent design choice towards minimizing room modes and making speaker placement easier.

Overall, after six months of discovery with the speaker, I've found a deep level of appreciation for what Bill and hos team at Legacy Audio have created here. For reference: the $94K Magico M3s surely sounds amazing but they are not open baffle and their -3db (half output) bass response is rated at 24Hz which - in my real world experience - translates to a ~10Hz hole in the bass frequency spectrum. At these price points, bass should be "solved" and the Aeris has made me realize that powered subs, integrated into the cabinet are how this should be done.

So what are some downsides?

While nowhere near as crazy toe-in sensitive as for example the Perlisten S7t, the Aeris definitely have a narrowish sweet spot for critical listening even with room correction applied, probably due to the AMT. This doesn't bother me in the slightest though.

No 4 or 4.5-way speaker is ever going to nail instrument placement like a single source point driver such as a Tannoy or some of the available KEF speakers. That said, the tradeoff is worth it to me and I wouldn't dream of swapping these for a pair of KEF Blades if you offered me a bunch of cash on top.

Digital Room Correction

I have no doubt that it is possible to get great results with a Wavelet & Bohmer and I appreciate that Bill Dudleston designed it to correct audio signals not just in the frequency- but also in the time- and the phase domains. That said, I have tested the Aeris with both Dirac Live based processors, as well as an AVR running Audyssey XT32 with really great results and therefore don't believe at all that the Wavelet is the only product you can use to get the most out of these speakers.

Personally, I won't purchase a solution that relies on remote / off-shore processing (with unclear future availability), rather than local device based processing. Instead, my next pre-pro of choice will be a Lyngdorf with RoomPerfect to enable me to swap power amps for the open baffle section while retaining full control over the output from both subs.

Final thoughts: the Legacy Aeris is an incredibly well designed and executed speaker system that has brought me nothing but smiles so far. I haven't spent this much time listening to music since my College days. The only reason I currently see for ever selling these would be overseas retirement and the hassle of shipping. However, even then I'd have to think hard about what I'd do other than to just buy another pair.

Very detailed and in-depth write-up, thank you for sharing. It would be interesting to read more details about your experiences with other processing & room correction with the speaker.

What you are basing the statement regarding "(with unclear future availability)" on in your next to last paragraph?

When you take measurements with the Wavelet, the data is sent to Bohmer servers and they return the filters to you. If they stop providing that service, the processor becomes useless. To be fair, Dirac and apparently Trinnov use server based processing as well, but Dirac processors can be had for a lot less. RoomPerfect in the hand doesn't require an internet connection to generate filters. One consistent commentary from RP owners has been that they spend very little time taking measurements and tweaking before they get great results with RoomPerfect. I can confirm that the learning curve with Dirac Live with Bass Control and initially with Audyssey XT32 was somewhat steep but I'm happy to share more detailed impressions across all three platforms once I've had some time with a Lyngdorf.

IMHO, I would not let that "risk" prevent me from using the Wavelet II and Bohmer. Especially once the correction is loaded, you could get by forever with it that way if it did ever come to that. The Bohmer is so easy to use and so effective I really enjoy it. If you moved the system to another room then maybe, but any company we buy from can go away without notice. AR just almost did and they were very big.

I bet the Wavelet II with 64bit processing works great. My point was that if I want to take measurements in the future, for example in a new home, a RoomPerfect processor will work even if Lyngdorf goes out of business. If we do go into a recession later this year, niche HiFi product and services providers are - in my view - disproportionately more at risk of folding so this might not be as theoretical of a problem as it seems at the moment. I've had an "expensive paperweight" situation once before, so long-term usabilty matters for my purchasing decisions.
 
I am trying to wrap my head around how you connect your Aeris, are you using the Wavelaunch crossover? Doing DSP ahead of that in the chain?

Dirac, Lyngdorf and Trinnov all make great products with their own positive attributes.

Your implication that Bohmer (in business for 30+ years and builds OEM offerings for Legacy, Eikon and boards for other manufacturers plus their own end-customer products) and Legacy Audio (in business since 1983 and has had a build backlog in recent years every week of the year, for many years) are somehow niche products and somehow less able to be relied upon in the future w.r.t. business viability is unfounded to say the least.
It is true that Direc's market reach may be larger as they've gone after Chinese and other cellphone manufacturers for embedded deals however Legacy is very solid as a company and has a history of standing by its customers.

You mention:

"One consistent commentary from RP owners has been that they spend very little time taking measurements and tweaking before they get great results with RoomPerfect"

That's the same experience anyone I've talked and myself with that relies on the Wavelet v2 with 64-bit DSP for Aeris, Whisper XD, valor or other Legacy speakers that leverage it has to say.

You are absolutely right that it takes a connection out to Bohmer to process room sweeps into room correction results/filters that Wavelet then runs. It is also true that the web/mobile front end for Wavelet that the user leverages to access the Wavelet's controls requires an internet connection.

Given how solid Legacy and Bohmer are as companies, I'd label any risk of choosing this platform as extremely small.
 
It’s great when our system is singing, regardless of badge, congrats.
