Thiel CS3.6 and Aerial 10T Comparison

I currently have the Thiels and have been really happy with them however, a while back I had heard the Aerials and was very impressed by them. I'm thinkng about replacing the Thiels with the Aerials. Does anybody have experience with both of these speakers and could advise if this is a good switch or not?

Hi there,

I have Aerial 10T's and I would summarise them as being a music lover's speaker. Mated with a powerful amp, they will never offend, and will give you countless hours of pleasure. The only downside I can think of is that they are may be not the highest resolution speakers ever made. I'm sure a more modern design with beryllium or diamond tweeters will give you a bit more high frequency extension.

Every time I listen to Thiels I find yes they are dynamic and impressive, but cold and uninvolving musically.
YMMV

Cheers
Mick

I have a pair of 10T's and recently toyed with the idea of moving to Thiel. I ended up staying with my Aerials because, in the end, my 10T's are not the weakest link in my systme. The drivers are newer in the Thiel's, that may make a difference, depends on the sound you are looking for. The 10T's are a very romantic speaker that have held up well over the years.

If accuracy of timbre, phase and timing are important to you, keep the Thiels.
