I've heard them all, the aerials are like someone said too electronic sounding, Mike Kelly tries to make it exciting sounding which just means that its not natural and theres a midbass hump to increase the preception of bass. The N805 is a good speaker but theres better stuff out for the same money. The Sonus Faber Concerto's are a winner. They have much better bass then the 805 and sound a hell of lot more natural. The thing I never liked about the 805 was the tweeter, it was to tingy and just not natural. Thats why I've always liked soft silk dome tweeters. Concerto is just the way to go, another option thats even better is getting a pair of Sonus Faber Sigmum, which is actually made from walnut and belongs to their classic series. This has the best imaging of any dynamic speaker out there. This can be found with the matching metal and wood stand for around $2300 used.
Help wanted in regards to monitors...
Looking to spend 2000.00 on either new or used speakers. The shortlist so far includes Aerial 5's, SF Concerto Home or Grand Piano, ProAc 1sc or 1.5's, Tyler Ref. Monitors, and last but not least the B&W N805's. I know I have included some "full size" speakers in the list above but all are in my price range. I listen to rock, r&b and Jazz. (no classical yet.) My system includes a 4B ST and a Threshold T3 with the new NAD T-550. I appreciate any input or critique of the above speakers. Also what is your take on Dynaudio products and do they manufacture their own drivers and tweets?
