6T drivers are shown in more detail here: https://www.remusic.it/EN/Aerial-Acoustics-6T-loudspeakers-81b35000. It appears that the woofers and midrange are SB Acoustics given the papyrus blend. The tweeter is the Scanspeak Discovery tweeter (not t... 
SIMPLY AMAZING: Coda Technologies 07x Preamplifier
Maybe you should try it yourself and see, instead of posting about it twice in 12 hours.

Anyone else have experience with the Focal Electra SW1000 Be subwoofer? 
Amp for focal 1038be?
Bumping this up. @dlr944, how are you liking things after a couple months? 
Canton Reference Any opininion?
I recently heard a pair of Reference 5K powered by an Esoteric DAC/streamer and F-07 integrated amp. - impressive build quality- beautiful- very detailed and resolving sound, unfortunately that became very grating at anything above 80 dB or so at ...

Try a Schiit Aegir and pocket $1,200 (minus tax/shipping).

Thanks for starting this thread.A few notes:The new amp will replace the 15.5 stereo amplifier and will be called the 16.0. In addition to the component changes in the circuit (presumably similar to those implemented in the Continuum No. 8), it wi... 
Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier
What is the difference between the Continuum No. 8 and the Continuum Ts, aside from the aesthetics and the meters on the front panel? 
Canton Reference Any opininion?
Bump. 
Paradigm Persona series
I second the above. I’ve heard the Persona two separate times, in different rooms, one with my solid state amplifier and another with a beastly Plinius SA-103 in pure Class A. Both times they sounded immediately impressive, but became grating and ... 
Anyone listened to Aerial 9's?
Intrigued by the LR5 as well, but they look pretty clunky and require stands, which unfortunately means they may not fly for me in a living room. Can’t seem to find a Model 9 in the northeast...
