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.

Audiozen, because Arial's tweeter has two large ferrite magnets instead of neodymium magnets it has better detail and dynamics? You have no idea what you're talking about.
Where are you getting the 200w figure from for the 7T's power rating?

Sony's 90w rating is 100h(hour) RMS, not peak and 150w long term max-power, which means they're capable of playing music at a constant 114dB @ 1M each without clipping. Add in Sony's higher crossover point and power handling should never be a concern unless you're attempting to fill a very large room or trying to make yourself deaf.

I'd still like to know how any of this have an effect on dynamics as the woofer(s) are usually the limiting factor on overall efficiency? Or as you mentioned before, detail?
