Hi,
Quick advice:
I am using a pair of Stradivari speakers for HT system (driven by Pass Lab XA200.5).
If you have an option by paying another $30k to have Aida speaker (and trade in Stradivari speaker) for your HT system, will you do it? Or it is a waste of money to use Aida for HT system?

Appreciate your quick comments 🤓
Thank you!

(Reason: I have decided to use XLF speakers for my main Audio system. Hence I will need to let go Aida at a super low price! 😒😡&#128553

I had the strads in the past and while they are good, they are no Aida.

Btw how are the XLF?

$30k to trade Stradivari to Aida's? You are really a lucky person. Although the XLF's are better, the Aida's are also in the class of the top speakers. No possible comparison with Strad's IMHO.

Thanks for the comments.
After spending 3 years with the Aida, I am VERY happy with its performance.
Due to some "complication", I have decided to go for XLF speaker for my main system.

Now I have to make a decision soon:
1) Trade in the my Aida speaker at super low price (which I feel very painful &#128534
2) Pay $30k and trade in Stradivari (with me only 7 months!) and keep my Aida for my HT system (which I feel it may a bit over killed for a HT system.)

If you were me, what will you do?

XLF is Very good and I love it as much as I love Aida.

Aida (just like Tube Amp)
XLF (just like a Transistor Amp)

Just a follow-up with my above post:

Reluctantly I sold the Aida and kept the Stradivari (for my HT system).
However, beginning of Jan 2021 I was offered a pre-owned Aida 2 (i.e. updated version) at a very attractive price. I just could not resist the temptation as I really love SF speakers so I took up the offer.

Congratulations. Take your time having them set-up properly. When the set-up is performed correctly both the original Aida and Aida 2 are fine speakers.
