Aerial 5T impressions

Also, some of his refernce speakers had outboard crossovers. I believe, all reference speakers should be made that way. Do you really think that all that usual sh-t inside cabinets facilitates great sound reproduction? Unfortunately, Michael is one of those talented people who knows how to make things but not quite how to sell them.

Aerial 5T thoughts?

Sorry man, sometimes threads expand in all directions, and in fact I think it is a good thing. We are still talking about speakers and drivers.
Indirectly, maybe we are talking about 5T too, that's, there is not much to say about them.

One can hope

I'll post my impression as I just had them for a home trial for 3 Days to compare to my B&W CM6s2. 

Qualified with my equipment 

The B&W are very detailed with full bass.  Sometimes bright if listening to rock or female voices. Excruciating bright at times. 
The B&W at first inpress you with the details and the imaging.  I hear sounds coming fronm the kitchen, but that's a parlor trick Bose does that too.  They are a very good sounding speaker on well recorded music like Jazz and acoustic. Not a rock speaker too bright.  The B&W received excellent reviews.  Build quality is lacking. 

The Aerial 5T - not much has been written about them.  Maybe Michael Kelly decided to stop paying the reviewers.  Word of mouth is all you really need if you have customers that enjoy the hobby.  Well these Aerial 5Ts are musical.  They are as close as I think I will get to the sound of a live voice.  They don't try to impress you with there brightness for their bass.  The B&W in comparison were ultra bright with boomy bass.  The Aerial are precise, clear detailed where they are suppose to be and tight quick bass.  

Ask yourself when you go to listen to live music. Do you say wow that mandolin, violin, guitar, banjo piano, drums ... Sound so good so detailed.  I don't think so you hear all of the music blended together balanced.   That's when you know Aerial knows what it means to reproduce music.
