Aerial 20T...has anyone heard it?


Is this the new top of the line for this company? I saw a pictire of it in "Enjoythemusic" and it resembles the Wilson watt/puppys...Joseph audio Pearl, Piega and so many ....Any first hand knowledge?

Thanks all!

Thanks Moto mam , I got them and could not be happier. Mike Kelly is a Master Craftsman and anyone who knows his products knows what efforts he puts behind each and every one of his speakers. As with any statement product , break-in is crutial and I am still experimenting with placement but out of the box they are liquid! These will make a big noise in our circles soon. And if i may , the guys at A-V in Columbia Sc were absolutely incredible in their patience and efforts with me and that makes a world of difference in a world being taken over by Tweeters.
RWD , I had 2 sw 12 subs with 10 s and am still utilizing them with the 20 s at times. Using the meridian 861 I can go to "direct" and it bypasses subs. It depends on mood and program material. The 20 s are in a class by themselves and are capable of showing you just how bad downstream equiptment can be. 20 s in front , 10 s in rear and cc-5 in center with 2 sw 12 subs is the multi- channel / theatre configuration at present. As for the question , you do not need the sub with the 20 and in fact , I judiciously apply it mainly for lfe dominated soundtracks but not often for cd or sacd. I do go back and forth but no , it does not need one for 97% of my listening sessions and the range is vast. The rotation spins from Patricia Barber to ELP and from Yo Yo Ma to Dave Matthews with a dose of industrial metal and techno. Thats the beauty of the 20 s . It does everything so well. Thats my opinion of course. Give these a listen and while im at it , the sw12 subs are simply awesome for music and that tells you all you need to know for theatre.
