While the Aida looks the same from the outside, everything inside has been upgraded; crossovers and drivers all take advantage of everything SF has learned in the last six years.

Progress is inevitable but OUCH... the last Aida was $120k and now the new version is completely upgraded. Not a great feeling if you own the earlier pair.

I like how in the article, this statement was made:

But to sum it up, we called Aida “the new Italian word for perfection.” These speakers look as beautiful as they sound, and one friend wept when he heard Bob Dylan through them at our place. No kidding!


I weep when I hear Bob Dylan's voice ALL THE TIME

I didn't mean to imply I weep when I hear Dylan's voice on MY system, I meant I cry whenever I hear Bob Dylan's voice anywhere, any time--IT'S TERRIBLE.

Bob Dylan's voice is UNLISTENABLE

Gary,
You need to let your feelings out. You’re going to yourself an ulcer.
