Thiel 7.2 vs Hales T-8 opinion needed


Hi all,
I'm about to get an upgrade on speakers.
I currently own a pair of Aerial 10T
Between 7.2 and T-8 - which one is better sound ?
My gears are mostly Krell
Thanks in advance

I love the look of the Hales, but I would investigate the availability of replacement parts. Contact Paul Hales if possible.

You know what? The 10T you already have is pretty good as spkrs go.
That is, the other two are nothing to keel over about compared to yours (and they sound reasonably similar, I prefer the Theil -- but not because it's really better IMO).

If you're tired of staring at the same spkr & want to change why not opt for a different design, say an open baffle or dipole, or smthing. Regards
Thanks to all,
I'm surprise that some of response suggest that getting T-8 or 7.2 is not an upgrade.
My 10T sounds really good with my Krell MDA-300 mono amps along with Krell KRC-Ref preamp.
My digital front are Sony SCD777ES/Esoteric P-70/Denon 3910, all feeding to Theta Gen Va DAC.

If I follow your advices - then I would save myself $5K :-)
My thought is that these two has MSRP like $10K+ - while the 10T was like $7K

I have heard good thing about T-8 midrange, and 7.2 coherent - Please advice
The Ariel is darn good.. If you want to experiment, try new power cords, etc. before spending big bucks on new speakers. Yes new speakers will be different, but I doubt if they'll be better. What don't you like about your speakers now. Remember that the speakers are the last in a long chain of stuff that could also be irritating you...not necessarily your speakers.
