| Aerial 7T/6 vs Vandersteen Quatro/Treo/2Ce Sig II The Aerials were a big disappointment. I actually liked Dali Helicon 400 Mk IIs much better than the AerialsDali Helicon 400 is exactly what I ended up buying for my sister.

| Does Avalon speakers have a house sound? Up to this point I was treating my review of responses here as standard humor.Tickets! Tickets! Smell something burning with all the brain power cranking. | |
| Quandry: Used Magico V2 vs. new S1 It's no quandry, go listen and decide for yourself. Ultimately it's your $$ and have to live with them unless you want Bol to move in. I'm surprise you haven't got a recommendation for Vandersteen, JBL 1400 or Monitor Audio yet. LOL!!!When I was i... | |
