Experience with Aerial models 6 or 7b

Thanks for the response. The proceed is a dual mono 250 watt per side @ 8ohm, 500 @ 4ohm amp that I think should do fine for now. Emster, I have a set of 601 s2 in a bedroom sytem that I have been happy with so the 803 is also in the picture. I wonder if they might be a little bright in the long run though, like you said the aerial seems a little easier on the ear during long sessions. As far as the Meadowlark I am sure they sound great, it's just with a purchase this size I really want to stay local. Thanks again for the input.

Thanks again for all of the input. It looks like either of these will work where I want to place them. The dealer offers a 1 year trade up program on speakers so I plan to purchase and then evaluate at the end of the first year on if I can or feel the need to make the move to 8b or 10t.

Tom_munro, thanks for reminding me about the new monitors, they will also be on the hit list but I will want to be able to bolt them to the stand and fill that with lead/sand, whatever to make it nearly impossible to knock over. You know how paranoid us audio fellas are about this stuff. I just wish I could afford to swing the Aerial sub at the same time ! As it is if I go for something like that I would have to be happy with the Vandersteen. This also brings up the second option of sinking the whole budget into the Aerial sub to go with the ML Aerius I have right now, and ultimatley get some mains to match later but given the room size I just don't think the ML can output enough volume to do justice to that level of sub. Sure would be nice to try though.... Thanks again to everyone, this puts my mind a little more at ease as far as knowing they can be placed that close to the wall.

Suburuguru, Actually the dealer carries Madrigal products so I will make sure and put that one on the list also. Thanks.
