Aerial 20T or Proac D100

Thinking of upgrading my ProAc D80... I use them with a complete Theta setup including the Citadel monos.

My dealer here in Europe where I live has Proac and Aerial speakers so I think I will stick to one of those brands. I have always been a ProAc fan, so the D100 maybe seem to be the strongest candidate to me, but I have never heard the 20T (my dealer does not have them) so I would be interested if anyone could give some opinions or hints of the differences in sound qualities between the two. Thanks!!

Aerials' ribbon tweeter versus the proac tweeter. Proacs deserve kudos for what they are able to accomplish with thier tweeter. However, it is no match for aerials' ribbon.

Gregadd, but what about the midrange? I believe the 3" soft dome from ATC is pure magic...
And the D100 also has two 10" for bass.
Could the smaller 20T beat this ?

Worldcat, good to know that you are happy with the Theta-Aerial combo. I would like to know if you have compared the 20Ts with speakers from other high end manufacturers in your setup?

Hobby-I did not judge proac or aerial to"excel" in the midrange. Yes the smaller 20t could.

only the Model 9's from Aerial. I really liked those as well with my setup.
