Aerial 7T compared to Joseph Audio Perspectives
 

Has anyone had the opportunity to compare Aerial 7Ts to Joseph Audio Perspectives? If so, I would would like your opinions.

:lurk:

After attending RMAF two weeks ago, I can answer my own question. I didn't listen to the Perspectives, but I did hear the Pearls. I thought the Pearls were good, but not good enough to give up my 7ts. Maybe, just maybe I need to stay with the 7ts. I thought I could find something under 20K that would be significantly better than the 7ts., but maybe not. Any thoughts or recommendations to audition? My friend keeps saying, Dynaudio C4s, slightly above my budget, but I haven't found anywhere to hear them.

Sabrina's should beat 7ts for under 20k.

No, heard them. I had several Wilsons prior to the 7ts and I prefer the 7ts. To my ears Wilson's are not a good value. "To my ears" is the key phrase.

You may just want to upgrade the amp.I heard the 7T's w/the Plinius SA-103 Class A amp. The best sound I ever heard the Aerials produce. :thumbsup:

I gotta say after listening to some 7T's for the third time I can't imagine anything under 20K beating them.

Forte 4A,

Thanks for the recommendation. My system consist of the Jeff Rowland Continuum S2 integrated amp, Jeff Rowland Aeris DAC, Bryston BDP2, Dual SVS SB13 Ultra subs, WW Silver speaker cable, digital cables WW Platinum, Power Cords WW Silver, All cables are WW series 7. My room is 20' x 26' and is treated with GIK Acoustics.

The only thing I'm willing to change are my speakers. Not because I'm unhappy with them, but because I'm curios. I love the Jeff Rowland for the sound, looks, and the fact the the S2 operates in Class D. I leave all of my equipment on 24/7, unless I don't plan on listening for a couple of days and I switch everything to standby.

Michael,

I've listen to several speakers and I'm finding it difficult to find a speaker under 20K that is significantly better than the 7Ts. I really love my 7Ts, but I'm curious to see what it takes to go to the next level. If I don't find anything, I'll start tweaking my system...stillpoints and power conditioner?

If you were considering the C4's bring as much current to the table as possible.
They need a lot of power to make them come alive-like big Bryston mono blocks for example.
