| Room Issues You may want to see if there a way to set the speakers up on the diagonal. Not only will this buy you better listening distance between you and the speakers, but will help in regard to bass modes and 1st reflection points as well (soundstaging).Ju... | |

| Amplifier suggestions for Aerial 7b speakers? I own Aerial 7s (the original models); the best I heard on them were (in no particular order):Jeff Rowland (I believe Model 10s)BAT VK-60s (I know only 60Ws but man, it was nice!)McCormack DNA-0.5 and DNA-1 (my choice for bang per buck)I currently... | |
| Best versatile speakers? Some versatile ones are Aerial Acoustics (I own a set so I may be prejudiced) and Totem Acoustics.I also like ProAcs and Audio Physic (though I had no opportunity to thoroughly audition them).Never heard the better Paradigm line but I own a set of... | |
| Better than AQ Midnight + Speaker Cables? Nope. Not brighter at all... What I mean by clarity is that there is more DETAIL: lingering decay on cymbol strikes, more character on drum strikes and human voice, etc; things of that nature.The difference between looking through a dirtier or mor... | |
| Better than AQ Midnight + Speaker Cables? Larryb is right on the money...It's a good cable but to me (and my system) there are better; I went with Cardas.You can check my review of a comparison between Cardas Quadlink 5c and AQ MidnightII here (for what it's worth)...http://www.audioasylu... | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood Wasn't he in the "Beaty (sic) and the Beast" TV series with Linda Hamilton?Nope. That was Ron "Hellboy" Perlman. | |
| CD's for auditioning Some of mine (that I don't think I saw in the list above):Dianne Reeves - Never Too Far (title cut and "Hello") -(jazz tinged R&B: excellent female vocal, check for midrange presence and choral mass voices on "Never Too Far")Shirley Horn - "Yo... | |

| Amp for Aerial 8 Rowland was one of my favorites on the Aerial line and either 10 or 112 should do it justice; however this would of course depend on your room and listening levels.BAT also did a very nice job as well; if you are looking for more bang per buck the... | |
| How to upgrade from Aragon 4004 mkII amp Jack -I think it mainly depends on system synergy... I like my Aragon but someday I want to get a McCormack (I think) - lotsa bang per buck.What the McC seems to offer (in my system) over the Aragon is an ease and "natural" refinement along with t... |
