New old Aerius owner

[Ricardo Villanueva]

Hello friends, I'm Ricardo from Mexico City.

My brother died last June and his widow gave to me almost all of his hifi system: A Nuforce Icon Ido DAC, a Linn Wakonda preamp, a K&B ST3030 power amp, and a pair of ML Aerius speakers made, according to the database, in 1992. She just kept an old Nakamichi tape deck.
I already have my own hifi system: A Michell GyroDec turntable, an EAR 834P phono stage, a Mac mini and HRT music streamer II+, a Macintosh C-22 clone preamp and a pair of Quicksilver KT88 monoblocks which I already sold last december to buy something with KT120 tubes. My loudspeakers are a pair of Dynaudio Contour 1.3 SE and a Yamaha servoactive subwoofer.
Well, it was last sunday when I decided to give the Aerius a chance as the K&B amp as I don`t have a tube amp for now, so I conected it to my C-22 clone with excellent results.
I can´t say which pair of speakers a like most, as they are different, but I was impressed in the Aerius sound. I don´t like to make mods in any equipment as I know there is many work involved in each component, so I don't like to mess around, but my Logans are 20 years now and I would like to at least, renew the xovers parts.

Have my best regards.

Ricardo

Hello and thanks for your reply projectormovielover, my Aerius sounds fine, and I will consider the new panels.
My brother used very little his speakers as he travelled a lot and was a very hard worker (used to be a "home stranger"). He bought these loudspeakers from a friend of him back in 1995 and he paid little money for these as one of them, had a bullet impact in the bass cabinet which fortunatly didn't damaged anything but the cabinet only and was repaired.
I will write to custumer service to quote a pair of new panels.
Best regards.
