Aerial 8B vs Aerial 7B

The 8s do not belong in a small room. You'll never find a decent setup for them; if you do, you'll go crazy in the proces. I'd bet you'd return them. However the 7Bs are perfect, especially with hi end amplification. Having the SW12 is just icing on the cake.

Emmett: I am really curious to know about the electronics that were used when you listned to the 7Bs. I've heard them sound different with varying electronics, with the highest quality yielding the best. Room acoustics are an issue as well. I recall listening to 6s once, and they sounded tinny. I had to tell the sales guy! Another came in, made some new connections... viola proper sound, but not my preference. I gotta tell you what one guy told me: If I was gonna put more money into my system get the 10T, as it was Aerials top of the line, price no object sorta speaker vs those below it designed to fit within price brackets. Know what I think he's right. The 10Ts sound great. Just too bulky for me.
