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.

Although I preferred the midrange of the Aeriel 8 over the 7b, it was clear that they were WAY to bass-heavy in my similar room. I didn't like the incoherence of the N803 at all, but was mightily impressed with the Revel F30!
I would seriously consider them over the 7b, especially for their remarkably good midrange. Helluva value at $3k net too! They also may be more efficient than the Aeriels, and thus perhaps save you $ on amplification. They're a no-brainer at the price if you like what they sound like IN YOUR ROOM! Good luck. Ernie
