Aerial 5T impressions

Any owners of Aerial 5T out there that want to share their impressions?

I currently have B&W CM6S2's..
They are very detailed speakers with good bass. Sometimes the highs are a little on the bright side and I was listening to a pair of the Aerial 5T's.  They sound more neutral to me with less emphasis on the extreme high end.  Beautiful build quality. 

If you have similar or other experience with them I would  e very interested.

I have a pair of 5Ts at the office paired with my Luxman L590AX.  These speakers are great and incredibly detailed and musical.

I have grown to appreciate the Aerial sound so much that I will be purchasing the 7T for my home rig - they will be replacing the B&W 803 D3.

psickerson - yes, I listed to a whole bunch of them including KEF, Totem, Spendor, B&W and even the Wilson Duette (way out of my price range). Other than the Wilson, the 5T was a much better performer.

It's almost a shame to have a high end rig at the office during normal hours.  When the employees leave however, I can crank up the volume!

I liked the 5Ts so much that I just replaced my B&W 803 D3's with the 7T in my main rig room at home.  I am very impressed with this speaker line.  Excellent value with performance well beyond their price point.
