Experience with Aerial models 6 or 7b

This will not happen soon, but I would like to take as much time as possible on this decision so here it goes. I currently use ML Aerius i with Proceed HPA2. Just moved to a bigger room, ( 17w x 15d w/cathedral ceilings ) and it just doesn't seem to fill the room enough. I am not looking for concert level volumes, maybe a good solid 90db would be fine. I will purchase something local and have been considering the Aerial models 6 or 7b. I want to be able to place the speaker within a couple of feet of the back wall also. Other options would be the new ML Ascent, but that might be a little imposing for the room. Dealer also carries B&W, Vandersteen and Maggies although the last two are out due to the cat factor. Will the model 6 fill the room? will 7b work that close the back wall? Or maybe try the 6 with a Vandersteen sub? I listen mostly to rock and the final bill needs to come in around 4-5k. thanks in advance for your experiences.

hi no money!
i have used the 7b for about 8 months with my bryston 7st and works wonderful (the only reason i sold it is to upgrade)other than that, it did really works wonder on my set-up, the bass is quick and well defined, (but not a real gut sucking one, though it can be thought at times that it does have a powered sub..especially with a medium size room)
and what i really love with these beast is the WONDERFUL,
SWEET SOUNDING MIDRANGE AND CLEAR AIRY, REFINED UPPER END...i actually missed it since i still don't have a replacement for them since i am still waiting for a good deal on a b&w, the 10t's or the thiel 7.2...anyways, i think the proceed would work well with the 7b's as well...good luck and i hope this helps...by the way, the 7b has been the longest that I KEPT for a while, others i sold them right away after 2-3 months...
