Aida is a very good speaker too. It is just too relax and too musical to my ears. I think it excel in certain genre of music especially for women vocal. Stella on the other hand is very punchy, bigger headroom, realistic, speedy and suitable to wider range of music. I listen from classical to heavy metal (I am not sure if Metallica could be considered as one now) and anything in between. This is where Stella really shines. Construction wise, Aida is really work of art. The woodwork is simply amazing. From the grain of wood to the lacquer that was applied, it oozed passion and skill in craftsmanship. Stella is not too shabby either. Deal is signed. Speaker to be delivered soon but I won't be able to hook it up until May when the construction of my house with dedicated audio room is completed.
