I have Model 6's and the bass is about right, though maybe a touch heavy on some recordings with a lot of electric bass. Acoustic bass in jazz and classical recordings is good. Having the port in front helps a lot. What I am dissatisfied with is the lower midrange. It is too slight relative to upper midrange to give a good sense of the singer or instrument being in the room. For example, a piano is weighted toward the sound of the hammers and away from the sound of the cabinet resonance. This may be because the bass is relatively louder (?) and masks the lower midrange. Get a trial pair if possible and bring them home to try; these qualities are very subtle in an otherwise nicely balanced product. Tube electronics can help, but don't forget the 6's require near to 100 watts, so triodes won't work.
Aerial 6's lighter in the low end than the 7b's...
I'm not a BIG bass guy when it comes to speakers. Feel speakers should have just enough bass and be balanced in thier tone. I'm in the market for speakers, heard the Aerial 7b's and felt they
had just too much on the bass end, as others have said. Wondering if anyone is familiar with the Aerial model 6 and can say if the bass end on this speaker is less pronounced and has a more balanced tonality ?
Also recently read a review that spoke of the aerial 6 as having a 'dark' sound. What's that mean?
