I have auditioned both speakers, but not at the same time & in the same room & in the same system. However, without doing a direct A/B, I'd go for the ProAc's. I found the Aerial's a bit lean in the mid to upper bass. My impression is that the ProAc's have a bit more richness and liveliness on rock which suits my preferences. And there's something about the ProAc sound I really like. The Aerials are nice though.
USA v England--Aerial Acoustics 7T v. ProAc D40R
Okay folks, I have a good one for discussion. Michael at AA is very at what he does. My "twin" SW 12s were amazing (wish I still had them). ProAc, too, has quite a following. So, with the understanding that the new 7T is Michael's new efforts to make cabinet that doesn't muddle the music, and with the understanding that ProAc is making its own drivers now for the somewhat new D40R, who wins? Efficiency, detail, "musiciality", dynamics, speed, emotion, bass, mids, treble, all of it. Which is your desert island speaker and why?
