soix,
It would be unfair to directly compare the PL500s to Sasha's. My entire system has changed. The system with the Sasha's consisted of the following equipment: Densen B-350 mono amps, Densen B-250 preamp, Rega Apollo CD player as a transport, Audio Research DAC7, Silver Audio Cables.
My current system: Jeff Rowland 625 S2, JR Corus preamp, JR Aeris DAC, Bryston BDP2, Wireworld Silver Eclipse 7 speaker cables, Wireworld Platinum interconnect and Power cables, and a Torus power conditioner.
The Aerial 7T's were the only speakers in both systems. When I had the Aerial's in the Jeff Rowland system they were paired with JL Audio F110 V2's and the JL Audio CR1 crossover. Comparing the Aerial 7T's directly to the PL500s would be unfair because of the price difference. Compared to Aerials with F110's and the CR1 there is such a significant difference it's hard to believe. I could say the typical Audiophile things about the soundstage being bigger or imaging is better, but that wouldn't do the PL500s justice. The PL500s bring the musicians in my room. The tonality, realism, and emotion of music is just incredible to my ears. They are simply the best speakers that I've had!
