Aerial replacement for 10T ?

Michael Kelly at Aerial has indicated to me that he feels the 8B's are comparable in performance to the 10T's -- and indeed, have a significantly upgraded bass driver system. Some reviewers feel the same. I think it's a dead heat, frankly, making the 8B the better bargain. Kelly is about to release the Model 9. I might be able to offer special pricing on some Aerial 8B's with slight mars in the finishes if someone is interested. These would be sold as new goods, with warranty, available for pickup at my office location.

All above is accurate and inclusive so my observation is on the 20. I have owned the 10 s for 5 years and just got the 20 s very recently. The 10 s went to the back for multichannel. The 20 s are everything zshuster observed and more. The midrange has indeed opened up and is breathtaking. Dont look for them to be reviewed ; especially from the good unbiased folks at The Absolute Sound . They never even reviewed the 10 s . Ever.... in its 10 glorious years in production. Mike Kelly is a genius and never produces products until they are the best he can engineer . Run out to audition the 20 s , mortgage the home and dont take a vacation for 5 years . They will pay for themselves and you will own the last speaker of your life.

Do you have any spec on the new model 9b? Thanks in advanced

There is a model 9 coming , then the Aerial in walls , then the little brother to the 20. That will be the model 12 from what I have just heard. I think both the 9 and 12 will have a variation of the ribbon tweeter that is in the 20 .

My sense has been that people feel the 8B is sort of a failure, generally preferring the 7B instead. I guess some of you don't agree.
