First of all I have to say I am impressed with the service. I ordered the Aria 906 yesterday and I received them today at 11:15 with free delivery. I was pretty surprised.
I set them up immediately although I do not have stands yet so they are on my TV stand right next to my TV, and the easiest way to get started was to play some of my artists on Pandora.
I listened to a couple of songs and it sounded good, but of course Pandora is not the best source. I went into my office to reply to an email and all of a sudden I jumped from seat in a wow moment. Dire Straits, Once Upon a Time in the West came on the speakers really shined. Great detail and clarity, but yet a comfortable warmth. It was a moment of affirmation that I made the right move.
I then played some other artists like Eva Cassidy, Delta Rae and Joe Bonamassa and the speakers sound great without the best conditions or equipment. They are not my Sopra 2's, but hard to imagine a better pair of bookshelves for $899. Needless to say I am pleased with the purchase and the vendor.
I am sure I will upgrade my Denon soon and probably get a sub, which they do need btw.
