Aerial 7T vs. Marten Django L


I have read some glowing reports and professional reviewers on the  smaller Marten Django( L )and Aerial 7T. I Looking for thoughts from those who have heard both and why you would choose one over the other. The price is the same;~10 k $,  therefore is not a consideration. About, this is my budget.

I have been a happy Avalon Ascendant N owner for a few years, but I am getting the upgrade again. I am enjoing the sound, only thing I don't like about them, this is slightly “relaxed”, too polite presentation and lack in weight bass, maybe for rock they are not the best.
I want to more airy, better low end extension, and slightly faster, open sound.

My amp is the Ayre vx5e with the Ayre kx5e pre amp. My room is 16'x10' with 9' ceilings. I listen to all types of Music, primarily indie rock, progressiv rock, and jazz.

I'm interested to hear how the two models compare in performance terms (ideally side by side in the same room and system), particularly in reference to musical experience, subtlety, imaging/sound stage, detail retrieval and  dinamics.

Thanks in advance

Given your equipment and what you are trying to achieve sonically, a pair of Vandersteen's would be a better choice. The only exception would be if you like to listen to really loud music. If that's the case, the Aerial will play louder.
If you can go used at your price level I'd wait for a pair of Acoutic Zen Crescendos to come up for sale. Best of luck.
I've owned Wilson Audio Sophia 2s, 3s, Sashas; Audio Physics, Devore, and Revels, I currently own Aerial 7ts and to my ears they are the most musical speakers that I've owned...not perfect,Wilsons are more dynamic, Revels have a bigger sweet spot, but I enjoy the Aerials the most. As with most high-end speakers, system matching is important.
Arboc, I also have the Ascendants and am looking to upgrade for the same reasons you mentioned. I have been listening to some more expensive speakers and others at about the same price point. Let us know what your listening results are!
Goose,I am only at the early stages of considering this, so I will of course be conducting (Marten) dealer and home demo's when the time comes.

In the meantime I would be really interested to hear from anyone that has compared both speakers.
Because,unfortunately in Hungary is not Aerial dealer.
