Hi, I owned both the 6 and 7B, and I gotta tell you, I enjoyed them both. I purchased them while going through big system changes and found they played musically with both solid state, (Krell, Classe) and tubes (Jadis, Cat). Both appreciated power. I prefered the 6's set close to front wall, but found the added bass of the 7B advantageous to my listening pleasure. Either way, if you are able to home audition, you may find the room to be the deciding factor.
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.
