Thanks, Jim!

I wonder how they would sound powered by a McIntosh 2-channel amp... :)

If I had to guess... Incredible! :thumbsup:

However, I would say that they both have a wonderful sound with a wide and deep spatial imaging capability that artfully brings the music alive.

I am very happy to have the 8's in my home and I would feel the same about the 7T's. It's very difficult to pick between them!

thank you for the feedback! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Congratulations, they look just like mine (which I love).

Two questions, are they the 8Bs and have you played with the woofer facing out versus in?

They were originally built as 8's but have the 8B crossover in them.

I have played with them woofers pointed out and in. I prefer them facing in as there is not a lot of space between the woofers and the walls on either side of the room. Get a bit boomy due to reflection. I may end up trying some temporary wall treatment there and face them out again for a test.

You did more than a little, Ivan.

Having not heard of Aerial Acoustics before joining up here, then seeing those 7T beauties at your place, got me thinking. Slightly dangerous in my case since I only have one brain cell left and it's working overtime as it is.

Your influence led to an audition and a search for some speakers made by Mr. Kelly and here I am today...and it is all because of you, sir. :thankyouspin:

Michael.... I completely missed this thread! Congratulations!! What a beautiful pair you snagged. I bet they sound amazing. I heard a pair locally not long ago and was very impressed. You are right when you say the cabinetry is superbly done.

Happy New Year, indeed.
