Can anyone give an opinion on what speakers would be best as front speakers in a 5.1 setup. I have a JL Fantom F113 for my sub,and a Theta Dreadnaught two 225 X 5 chanel amp. Thanks
I've owned both. Very different speakers. The Aerials are gutsy and thick sounding but unless you have a large room the bass will be muddy. The Dynaudios are much more detailed & airy, but leaner in the midbass.
I agree - different speakers. I prefer the Aerials though the Dynaudios are right up there. The Aerials are more articulate with tigher bass. "Tuneful" bass as a friend says. The Dynaudios are warmer with more bass punch. IMO, the Aerials are more solid and better built but the Dynaudios again aren't far behind. If you were going to get the 9s, why not move on up to a pair of 20Ts vers 1. I've seen them used for $10k once or twice.
Thanks I would love to own the 20T, but they are out of my price range. I have noT seen them lower that $12,000. I feel the Aerials have better defined bass, but the Dynaudio tweeter is better. Robert
