Help me design for both music and TV around Legacy Audio's Wavelet + Aeris

I just purchased Legacy Audio's Aeris speaker along with Wavelet processor. I am going to get help from the dealer to set things up but wanted to get some advice here so I am informed.

Reality is that the speakers are in the living room and will be mostly used for TV. I want to however get a good Class A amp for music (have a tube amp for now). I do not want to burn the tube amp out watching TV all the time, also not into wasting of power. These speakers have in-built class D amps which I could use for regular TV watching and in a stereo music setting bi-amp them with class D amps powering the sub-woofers and a Class A amp powering rest of the speakers. 

This it the two signal paths I am considering.

(Vinyl -> Phono stage or Streaming) -> Wavelet(DAC + room correction + cross over) -> Tube Amp + inbuilt class D -> Aeris

Apple TV / Bluray -> Processor(3.1 channel + room correction) -> Wavelet(Optional, do I need it here?) -> inbuilt class D -> Aeris 

Is the above possible?. Or is there a better way to do this?.

thanks

Well, I too have been interested for some time in the Aeris, but have similarly been concerned about how I would integrate them into my AVR based system, through which I listen to Blu-ray movies, multi-channel SACDs, DVD-Audio discs, CDs, SiriusXM/Pandora via the apps in the AVR, and burned CDs by way of flac files on my laptop.  I can't figure out a way to do all that.
What I have discussed with Legacy is the idea of them making me a passive Aeris, which they said they could do as a special order. In that scenario, any room correction would have to be done in the AVR, pre-pro, or pre-amp.
