New Aerial Model 8s for Living Room System
« on: August 24, 2010, 01:01:36 PM »
New Aerial Model 8s in the living room - I put them on the stands with spikes into the hockey pucks. Really isolates well. I absolutely love and look forward to listening to them like none I've had before. The fineness of the articulation is astounding to me. The Carver 490T, C5 Pre amp, and the Mac MC2300 complement it perfectly. I don't miss the Polk 2.3s at all.
- :D  Thanks Tom

They are that good, Kingman.  Polk has nothing close.

Hockey pucks are awesome! They work much better than baseballs and footballs. ;D

Those speakers look great! Wish I could have stopped into the shop to give them a listen before they found a home :'(. Enjoy!!

I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.
