In Reply to: RE: Ryan Tempus III, Devore Gibbon X, JM Reynaud Concorde Supreme or Aerial 20T posted by mitch2 on May 13, 2016 at 16:05:41:
To put it in the fewest words... the JMR I think has a "European" sound while the Aerial has a big but not brash "American" sound.
I have not heard the Ryan, but my guess is that if the Aerial is driven properly it will sound bigger and go deeper than the Ryan. What I mean by driven properly is the 20T V.1 had a nasty crux of low impedance at a point where the phase angle was "difficult," so you need a conventional amp with huge current and damping factor.
The Halcro switch-mode amps could not cope with the 20T V.1, but the Plinius SA-250 wrestled them to the floor.
The ribbon tweeter is great in that it avoids some amount of ceiling reflections that might be problematic in some rooms. However, again in some rooms, it might be disconcerting to stand up and the treble stay seated, so to speak.
Hope that helps.
BTW, if I were to win the Lottery and wanted to buy a big serious speaker for non-crazy money, Vivid's $28,000 B-1 Anniversary would be on the short list.
ATB,
John
