Aerial 7B vs Silverline Sonata


I just returned from CES and came away very impressed with the Silverline Sonata II speaker. I have a combined 2-ch/HT system, so I need a speaker that can excel at both.

Has anyone had any firsthand experience with both of these speakers? I'm thinking of buying the Sonata's, but am not sure they're really an improvement over my Aerial 7b's. My friends who attended CES with me were all very impressed with the Sonata's, but are not familiar with the Aerial's. I'm not experienced enough to be able to tell with any certainty which is the better speaker. Any help will be appreciated.

Zippyy,

I totally agree with you that the 7B's are great speakers for home theater. They're very good for 2-ch as well. They may be one of the best speakers for a combined system. It's just that I'm leaning more to 2-ch lately, and want to get the most out of this part of my system. It could be that the 7B's are better for HT, and the Sonata's are better at 2-ch. That's what I'm hoping to determine. Thanks for your input.
