Hi, Pc123v. To answer your question let me explain about my speakers. My system is modest, a rare Luxman L503S, Roxan Zerxes TT, Oppo 105 and I had the Newform Research r8-2's for a long time. A year ago two of my audio friend arrived with the Aero 6's from Cambridge with the BMR drivers and as good as the ribbons were the aeros were what I had to have. They each preferred the Aeros and were shocked at how good they performed. Note, I do use them on IsoAcoustics stands[a must for this speaker]IMO. Even so I can hear more front to back depth from top to bottom. I can show a coherence and flow that was missing until revealed. Now I realize cd is different from analogue but each is good in its own right. I haven't had as much fun listening to music in a long time. Hope that helps. I do use Gershman levation devices and all Audio Sensibility cabeling and power boxes and deicated circuit. You will hear more note fullness with this product.
