About 25 years ago I purchased my first "expensive" speakers, the ADS L810's that I enjoyed for almost 20 years. After then going through a few B&W's and some Alon's, I decided to try another Mike Kelly design and I have been very happy with my Aerial 9's. They may not be perfect from an audiophile sense, but they are musical, have controlled, dynamic and moderately deep bass, image well, and generally let you hear what's going on upstream. Unless I receive an unexpected winfall, decide to downsize to monitors, or decide to go the high efficency low powered amp route, I will probably keep these. As a bonus, the company support from Aerial is excellent.
