I did listen to the Wharfedales. They are superb for $450/pair. The Aerials
are superb, period.

John,
Speaking of High prices, the Boulder amplifier recently tested in SP, has achieved an extraordinary level of engineering to obtain the level of performance stated, to achieve such low THD and drive into practically any low-Z load is really an amazing performance , care to elaborate more on their bias scheme and level of performance obtained ...
I didn't see the usual confetti fanfare required in my issue :)
Regards ..
> I did listen to the Wharfedales.
Meant to add that I took the speakers round to Ken Micallef for him to
write a follow-up review.

Glad to see this! I enjoy reading these sorts of follow-ups in the magazine.
I've never heard a pair of Aerials that didn't sound great.
They have relatively low penetration into the high-end arena, but - IMO - they ought to be acknowledged much more.
Best regards,
Jim Smith
I've seen you post here before, and that you're an "Industry Professional", but you don't have an Audio Asylum profile, and I've never heard of you in "the industry". Is there a website where we can see something about you?

I don't recall if I actually met him in person at my first Vegas CES, but he was a rep for Avant Guarde horn speakers at the time. Unless there's another Jim Smith :-)
Hi Sue,
I was Avantgarde's North American distributor from 1999-2005.
Best regards,

Try this:
Just gonna say... Always liked the 10T. Was always just a bit outside my price range, but often considered it on the used market. STILL a huge fan of the B&W and KEF models with a mid/tweet module atop a woofer cabinet.
Today? Nothing Aerial makes that it close to my budget interests me at all.
at 3-4 nominal Ohms impedance, they must be hard to drive. The Warfdale's are rated at 8 Ohms.
