I used Aida 1 for 3 years (audio room set-up, with much better audio components) and I only had 2 sessions with Aida 2 (HT room set-up, one session on pure 2-channel audio music and the other session on movie with full HT system), I did not expect so much improvement from Aida 2 (e.g. timing and pace, more coherent, especially in the bass performance).

I am so glad that I decided to get the Aida 2 for my HT system!
