  Any other Sony SS-AR1 owners out there?
Yes. I finally took the plunge. After several months of comparing and debating over different models and makes of speakers, I finally dropped a bundle of my hard earned money on a pair of speakers that say 'Sony' on the front. Still breaking them in, but definitely very happy with my decision so far. Any other AR-1 owners out there, and if so what are your impressions? Thanks.

I was considering buying the SS-AR1's, and feel sorry for those who took the plunge, and will be buying the Aerial Acoustics 7T's as soon as my sound room remodeling is complete. I heard the AR1's while I was in southern Calif. and was impressed, but after hearing the Aerial's in Portland at Fred's, the Sony is no match against the 7T's which blow the Sony's out the window. Best transparency and mid-range clarity I have ever heard. The bass was powerful, rich, very deep and very tight. Aerial's tweeter is an in house custom design, built by Scan-Speak, who also provides drivers for the Sony AR1's. The 7T midrange driver, is also a in-house design, built by SB Acoustics in Wisconsin who provides the mid-range drivers for all the Wilson Audio speakers including the Sasha's. Michael Kelly at Aerial informed me the 7T's mid-range and bass performance will equal or better any speaker regardless of price. They are that good. Before you plunk down $27K for the Sony's, check out the Aerial's and listen. You will be amazed at what you get for $10K, and think twice about buying a more expensive speaker.

I was considering buying the Aerial Acoustics 7T's, and feel sorry for those who took the plunge, and will be buying the Walmart 14T's as soon as I find a job. It's has the twin turbo quad cam carbon fiber drivers made by Acme Corp that is just amazing. You will be amazed at what you get for $100, and think twice about buying a more expensive speaker.
