Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

No, I am talking about the laws of physics.

Not only frontal area of the driver, but the fact that because it is a ported design, the KEF will roll off in the bass twice as fast.

Seeing as the KEF and the Aerial have bass specs that are within a few Hertz of each other (bass -3dB 79Hz for the KEF vs. 70 for the Aerial), that means that the Aerial will have deeper bass in the room an also be easier to place in the room, the classic sealed-box virtues.

I will be happy if the OP can hear both speakers and make his own decision. And if he chooses finesse over power, that is fine.

It's also fine with me if he buys the KEF and spends the increment to the Aerial on a good subwoofer, as long as he realizes the trade-offs in having a mono source for the deep bass.

Have a nice day.

PS: Nina doesn't come around any more; she and Mandy Rice-Davies don't like each other.
