Aerial 5T impressions

Any owners of Aerial 5T out there that want to share their impressions?

I currently have B&W CM6S2's..
They are very detailed speakers with good bass. Sometimes the highs are a little on the bright side and I was listening to a pair of the Aerial 5T's.  They sound more neutral to me with less emphasis on the extreme high end.  Beautiful build quality. 

If you have similar or other experience with them I would  e very interested.

I'm owner of 10t since 2002 and never look for upgrade. I looked at 5t as well, but found deal I couldn't refuse on 10t.

Still have and love my 7b.  The 5T has not been available for very long...and is a big price jump from the 5b

Czarivey, if Kevlar driver is so good why don't many others use it? I suspect, it is not that simple.

Hah, not for me to decide why many other speaker designers don't use Kevlar, but apparently my preference fell onto those who does. Aerial in particular.

Right the 5T's have not been out long.
I am about to upgrade my 8 month old b&w cm6s2 to the 5Ts.  Was holing to hear some comparison others may have had to this speaker.

It.looks like the new Aerial  T line does not contain Kevlar.  It is a "Papyrus blend cone". Blend. so maybe it does have Kevlar, but specs dont say.  B&w new 805s are not using the yellow Kevlar anymore.  

The new Papyrus blend cone sounds indescribably delicious.
