what replaced your Aerial 7B speakers?

I am using Transparent Super Bi-Wire. I'm guessing they are 10-15 years old.

@ozzy62 Everyone has their own measure of SQ and what they like in a speaker. And even though they are old the 7Bs were extremely well reviewed in their day and compare well with much higher end speakers.

And the OP's original question is what did people replace their 7Bs with...so you are in a unique position to answer that question. ;-)

Not sure what ozzy62 was using for an amp but the 7Bs really need 200 watts min. and I found 250 is still better.

I use a single run of Wywires Silver then biwire at the speakers with same jumpers. Can’t speak for your outriggers but I did look into those but went with the ones AA recommends which are the heavy Sound Anchor bases. 

adg101, were the Sound Anchor bases you have sold by AA or are they aftermarket?

The ones that came with mine were sold by AA with the speakers. They weigh 30 pounds each. The spikes were missing on mine so I made my own.

I know which ones you speak of. I had them with my aerial 8s. these are not like those.

The bases AA sold as an option were made by Sound Anchor. When I called AA they no longer stocked them and they got me in contact with Sound Anchor which they made a set for me at the original price. Same ones as on this link.

If you’re not using spikes it does make a difference for the better.
