Considering the Rule of Diminishing Returns.......


I have made up my mind to purchase an Aerial Acoustic system, model 7B and CC3B center. However, I really can't afford this system and am having a hard time writing out the check (or swiping the credit card).

Considering the law of diminishing returns, and utilizing the experienced knowledge base on this forum, what other options might I have that might offer 95% of the performance of the Aerials at 50% of their cost? Am I being realistic to assume such a speaker system exists?

I am 80% HT and 20% music.

check out newform research or VMPS for great speakers on lower budget than the aerials.
take all the time you need, there's no justification for feeling queasy writing a check when you can do some more research and ultimately feel better about your choice in relation to the money spent.
Paradigm is pretty good, with an entirely different sound than the Aerial, brighter sounding in general.
