Aerial 5T impressions


Any owners of Aerial 5T out there that want to share their impressions?

I currently have B&W CM6S2's..
They are very detailed speakers with good bass. Sometimes the highs are a little on the bright side and I was listening to a pair of the Aerial 5T's.  They sound more neutral to me with less emphasis on the extreme high end.  Beautiful build quality. 

If you have similar or other experience with them I would  e very interested.

I listen to a lot of Jazz and acoustic blues and Jazz. W/that music you really don't need a sub just keep the Speakers around 18" from the back wall. Having said that you will get an added benefit to larger ensemble music w/a sub. I use a Paradigm PDR-8 sub. For the ultimate I would suggest the Rel 7Ti.

I know this thread has been inactive for a few years but it seems the 5T is still a current model. I'm curious if anyone has ever listened to the 5T and also listened to the Usher Dancer Mini-X DMD. That's what I'm using now in a 9 ft by 12 ft room with an ATC P1 Pro amp. With both having a front slot port maybe they're quite similar. If the 5T is a significant upgrade I might try to find a pre-owned set

I posted back in 2017 that I bought a pair of 5T's. I've upgraded my amp to a Bryston 3B cube added a Luxman CL38Use preamp and a JL Audio D-110 but my 5T's have remained in the system. They produce great music. 

Did you have other speakers in your system prior to the 5T's, if yes what were they please? Also how big is your room and how close are your speakers to the rear wall? Thanks

Room is 12 ft wide and 18 ft long. Speakers are 2 ft from the long front wall and 8 ft from my listening position. Prior to that I had an original pair of Aerial 6B's which were front ported.
