Re: Aerial Acoustics 7T / Serria Towers
Nino,
Neither the RAAL towers (34Hz) or the Aerial 7T's (28Hz-just 2 more whole tones lower than the Ascends) will fill in the full bottom octave for movies, orchestra, organ or electronic genre. A "good musical" Rythmik sub (or others) with a small footprint will fill in that bottom octave with solid subsonic bass and integrate well while relieving stresses to the floor standing monitors. You'll have all the ultrasonic top end with the 7T (25kHz) or the RAAL Towers (32kHz), but maybe the lowest musical Octave may not be of any interest for you? In my opinion, till you have a great integrated sub in your musical system, you'll not know what you are missing!
I'm sure the Aerial 7T's sound great, but to me, the Sonus Faber Olimpica III ($12K) is the best floor standing system I've ever heard. However, with the Ascend 30-day in home trial period, I'd certainly get the RAAL towers in my home listening room first to hear what they have to offer. I'm very confident if you did, you'd fine the music missing nothing (except 18 to 34 Hz)!
