Aerial Acoustics 6T Speaker

Teajay-

I have heard both models and did not like the sound? Maybe the 10T/20T are better. I simply could not get into this speaker. Same can be stated for the Vandersteen Treo & Quattro. Per haps it is the crossover or something...

I much prefer, and make them my reference loudspeaker, THIEL CS 3.7 or CS 2.7 , depending on room size- the speakers require big rooms to really open up and sing. Happy Listening!

Hi Jafant,

This just proves that personal taste and system synergy always is in effect and everybody should use their own ears. I wonder when you heard the 7T's and 6T's what was the upstream gear?

Both Thiel speakers I have spent time in front of and neither are my cup of sonic tea. Great detail and transparency, however I found them to be all leading edge and somewhat lean sounding even with tube gear. It's one of the speakers that sound like a good speaker to me, but not like real music.

Right On! Teajay-

I wanted to like/love the Aerial speakers- it just did not happen. The associated gear was from Classe' Ayre and Mark Levinson- no slouches there. Cables/cords were from Transparent Reference XL or OPUS systems- no slouches either.

Perhaps the Aerial 10/20T models are better?

@teajay How do the Aerial 6T and 7T hold up nowadays against some of the more recent designs you've heard? I haven't heard the 7T, but absolutely loved the 6T that I demoed, against speakers from Paradigm, KEF, Klipsch, and Focal.

I just bought a pair of 6T’s yesterday. My wife and I demoed a lot of speakers and nothing came close to the Aerials
