Worldcat: You really need to take the foot out of the mouth and to complete your random ADHD thoughts. You've most likely never even heard of another pair of Aerial's other than the 9's, and dont tell me you've ever heard a pair of Revel's either, you bought equipment sight unheard, and if your dumb enough to think that Theta doesnt advertise, check out some of the national "hifi" mags. If you knew why I was selling my Revel's you probably wouldnt have made the comment you just did, active stage speakers have more flexibility in room setup than traditional passive speakers do when you have multiple monoblocks powering each stage of the speaker such as the Kharma Exquisite Reference 1A w/diamond tweeter upgrade that extends flat to over 100k before its first breakup mode, and the best thing of all is that each driver can be individually amplified and trimmed for the ultimate in dynamics and imaging capabilites. As for reviews, I really could care less about em. BUt if Im correct, the Revel Salon, was product and/or speaker of the year for 3 different major publishings(2 of which Revel/Madrigal/Harmon did not have any advertising influence) from back in 99' to last year in 03' I havent seen any glowing reviews of Aerial products lately. The few minor reviews(Model 9,Model 10,Model 5B)got mixed reviews at best. As the speaker really doesnt do anything special. As for Theta, the products are pretty good, but its not like you can really hear what they are capable of through a pair of Model 9's.
