Aerial 6 or 7B ? Nearfield listening. Thanks.


I am curious about these for nearfield listening
(about 7-8 feet from front of speaker to my nose).

I like the smooth, grit-free Aerial sound, but feel
I don't have the space for 20Ts or 9s (correct me if I'm wrong). I also like the way Aerials seem to be forgiving of lesser quality recordings and are not ruthlessly revealing.

Any comments about their sound (especially in terms of
the old 10Ts, which I owned for a few months years ago)
would be welcome.

I have an Edge NL12.1 amp and EMM SE CD separates.
I don't like boomy bass, pushy midrange, or searing highs.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Thanks! Yep, I know Aerials like lots of clean power to shine. My 10T had brilliant-sounding vocals with a Pass X350.
Horseface--thanks a million for all that info. Yep,
that Aerial tweeter is great. Not too many audiophile
tricks but about as listenable and painless as any
tweeter I've heard, but not rolled off or closed in.
Good luck to you.
