Calling all Legacy Aeris owners

I have not reviewed the Aeris, but have reviewed the V, Valor, Whisper (various versions) Focus, Focus SE, all found at Dagogo.com  

Legacy uses their large form factor, large midrange, methods in the Aeris. Imo, there would have to be some anomaly at work to draw such a conclusion, or if someone is a panel fan I can see them comparatively discussing the sweet spot as small in comparison. 

I have heard Aeris several times at shows and it never had small sweet spot or poor off-axis sound. Roger Sanders' speakers are poor off-axis, and he lines up chairs like a runway in demos. Legacy places several chairs in a big square for listening. They are not afraid to have someone sit off-axis, and you can stand up around the Aeris and not have the sound collapse. 

Now, Bill Dudleston prefers to cross the speakers before the listener, whereas I think that does unacceptable (to me) things to the soundstage and center image. I am not about to tell a man of his pedigree he's wrong, but I prefer a more traditional setup. If the reviewer was using the Legacy preferred placement, then that likely accounts for a lot of the description. 
So, something as simple as positioning could be behind the different descriptions of such things. 

As I have not used the Aeris in my home I will refrain from further comment.  :) 

A simple fix for the seat height issue is to put a pair of coasters, or similar about 1/4" thick, under the backs of each speaker. This will tilt the baffle slightly forward, and you will find the entire presentation is cleaned up and benefitted holistically. The degree to which the sound is benefitted is fairly shocking. I do this always with the Whisper. I will not set up this speaker without putting the "shims" under the back. I suggest owners work both with the toe in and baffle slope to achieve their ideal dependent upon seat position. However, I sit approx. 12' away from the speakers (not what I would call near field), and the benefit of the baffle slope adjustment is profound. 

BTW, I also do this same adjustment with big panel speakers such as the Kingsound King III electrostatic.  

I am aware that theoretically all necessary adjustments should be able to be handled by the Wavelet, that this slightly alters the parameters set in the Wavelet, and that this will cause a slight diminishment in the scale and height of the soundstage, but the trade off in terms of superior performance in other parameters is more than worth it to me. If anyone would like to suggest that my method is wrong, or that standard use is better, I'm not interested in debating my methods.
