I have been shopping for speakers for the past year. Unfortunately, my work has prevented me from listing to as many as I would like.
But I have listened to the 7T’s twice now and if I had to buy speakers right now, I would bring them home. They do so much very well. I loved the way they handle the highs and place the midrange right where it should be and with such a natural timbre in both. Also they deliver a strong punch in the bass without bashing you or over whelming you.
I think the real hold back so far has been the dealers showroom doesn’t seem to reveal the full capabilities of the speaker. I had hoped to have him either move them into a smaller room more in line with my space. His main showroom is twice the size of my room and a lot of glass. I discussed an in home demo but he has since sold them and not sure if and when he will bring in another pair. I did hear a glare on some music but think the glass was the culprit, but would want to be sure before I decide. I will be buying a center and 5T’s for the rears and hate to spend that much without being fully satisfied that these are the ones. At my age these will probably be my last speaker purchase so not rushing in. However as mentioned, they are at 5he top of my list for now. Although Focal sopras have a spot in there, but the local dealer only has the 3’s and I can only afford the 2’s.
Additionall my correspondence with Michael at Aerial has been exceptional
