Aerial 7T to Dynaudio C2

Brownsfan,

Thanks for your input. I attended RMAF in October and I believe I listened to Dali's. This hobby is very subjective and I came away from RMAF with more respect for my Aerial 7ts. I've recently changed my amp/preamp, DAC and now it's time to make one more upgrade. I listened to Focal Sopra 2s, Magico S3s, YG Acoustics, Joseph Audio, and a few others. I've narrowed it down to Dynaudio C2s or waiting for the new Aerial 12s. I submit the problem with most speakers is how much the other components and the room influences their sound. My speakers sound significantly different now that I've changed components, but it's still time to make a change.

Are there any former Aerial 7T owners on here? What speakers did you go to?

Decided to stay with my speakers and purchased an Aurender N10 to replace my Bryston BDP2. I'm done!

jafant,
No speaker is great to everyone and the associated equipment/room has a significant impact on what you are hearing. I heard the Magico 3s, Joseph Audio Pearls, and Focal Sopra 2s at RMAF this past October. I understand it was under show conditions, but none of them totally blew me away. There were a couple of speakers at RMAF that I loved, but they were above 50K. In my system the Aerial 7Ts are very, very good and I don't want to make a lateral move.
My plan is to replace my SVS subs with two JL Audio F110s and I've already sold my Bryston BDP2 to replace it with the Aurender N10. 

I hate the way the C4's look and that is why I'm so hesitant.

I understand what you're saying, but maybe those that heard them just don't prefer them. If so, that's fine. No speaker will appeal to everyone. 

I can't win. I just purchased a pair of JL Audio F110 V2s and a JL Audio CR-1. My system sounds better than ever and I say I'm done. Yesterday, a good friend offered me Dynaudio C4 Platinum's at a crazy price, but he wants me to trade my JL Audio subs and CR-1. Unfortunately, I don't have an opportunity to hear them, so I initially said no. Now, my disease(always thinking about the next upgrade) has me thinking about trading my Aerial 7Ts and subs for the C4s. I'm I crazy! 

Thanks, I'm going to listen to Revel Salon 2s on Saturday.

jwincville,

I ended up changing everything. You can view my system on Audiogon. My current speakers are Monitor Audio PL500 IIs.
