Tyler Acoustics Highland H3.5 or Focal Aria 936

I am trying to decide if I want to move away from my Aria 936s to the H3.5s. The H3.5s use top notch scanspeak mid range and woofer drivers and they have the scanspeak beryllium tweeter. Problem is, I can’t listen to them first. Will they be better than the 936s? I have read that the Tyler Acoustics products punch way above their price and compete with much more expensive speakers. They are definitely a risk though, if I don’t like them there will be a huge hit taken because of the relatively unknown brand. What do you do when faced with a conundrum like this?

If you like you're current Aria 936s, there's huge risk that you may prefer them.  My advice is to hold onto them until you're certain you prefer the Tylers.  If you don't, best case scenario is to resell the new speakers at a loss.  

With that said, risk of disappointment is part of the price we pay for an upgrade.  No risk means no change, so no chance of improvement.
