Thought I say hello since I will probably be checking in from time to time here. I used to own a pair of aerius/i about 9 years ago. I havent had a real stereo since then and just ordered a pair of vistas today. They should be here late next week but with the holidays it might be the following week. I plan on powering them with a Balanced audio technology vk-500 that should be here on tuesday. So I still have a few more things to get but until I get the preamp figured out I will probably just use my yamaha processor for the next couple of weeks. So if you see any bat vk-3i's for sale let me know. I also need cables, a good cd player and an amp for the center and rears. I will probably try to find an acurus 200x3, its a good budget amp.
