7T set up
I found a pair to listen to. It was a large room about 18' x 30' with a raised area in the back(like a theater). The speakers were about 10' a part, 4' from side walls and the front baffle about 50" from the back wall. I sat about11' away. They were powered by an Ayre amp and cd player. I was not overly impressed, I'm thinking it was the room and setup.

I believe it was the room/setup, they sure sound amazing in my system.

set up
Now that I've digested it little bit. Newer construction, stick on felt floor tiles over concrete, uncomfortable leather sectional for the chair. Nothing at all wrong with the bass, just not a very wide sound stage and sounded like speakers until high volume. I think just a bad room .

Sounds like a placement and room problem. I heard a pair in a smaller room with correct treatments and proper placement. They were awesome.

I should have my 7Ts on 5/16/2014. When you speak of setup, what I don't like about Aerial is, unlike some highend speaker companies, Aerial doesn't require their dealers to setup the speakers. It may be because of the limited amount of dealers they have? My room is 20' x 24' and I'm wondering what's a good place to start with placement? How far apart and from the front/side walls should my initial position be? I do have 3-5' to adjust where I sit.
As far as initial listening is concerned, I've learned that the more neutral a speaker is, the more unimpressed an initial listening session can be. I've found with Revel and Rockport my initial impression was they weren't anything special. The longer I listened the more I realized just how musical they were, they just didn't highlight one part of the music. I hope I feel that way about the 7Ts when I receive them. |

Yes, more hours and hopefully room treatment in the next month. I'm looking into GIK Soffit Bass traps to begin treating my room.

Today I had loaner ASC tube traps and Acoustic Panels. In addition, I finally spiked the 7Ts. The ASC tube traps really cleaned up the bass in my room. Consequently the entire spectrum is cleaner and sounds smoother. The Acoustic panels are rather narrow and didn't have much effect on the sound. Either I need more panels or they just weren't big enough. I had them placed at the first reflection points. The 7Ts must be one of the best deals in highend speakers and I don't understand why more people don't talk about them?
