Hi Mike, I am not sure how helpful this will be, but it may translate. I have a Decware based 5.1 HT setup. In front of my amps is the Ultra pre-amplifier. My center channel speaker is a Legacy Audio Silverscreen HD which has a sensitivity of 93.5. Your Aeris speakers are more efficient at 95.4. I originally used the Super Zen Triode (SE84UFO) - bridged - so 6 watts fed the Silverscreen. With the added gain of the Ultra pre, it had no problem powering the Silverscreen.
Legacy recommends 60-500 watts for the Aeris'. They also recommend 25-250 watts for the Silverscreen, so about half as much power. Considering 6 watts (with the added benefit of the pre-amp) easily drove my Silverscreen, I think a Torii Jr. may very well handle the Aeris speakers just fine based on the specs.
With your dedicated theater room, you should really look into the Decware Ultra 6-channel home theater pre-amp. It is at the heart of my all-tube home theater system and now that I have it, I could never go back to a traditional SS HT setup. It is that good!
Cheers, Jeff
