If you are a drummer, you would like the Escalante Fremonts, which were designed by the guy who designed the Wilson Whaam, WattPuppy 3 and Grand Slamm. Mastering engineer Steve Hoffman owns a pair, as do reviewers Greg Weaver and Dave Thomas. Because they are 93 db. sensitive and use a unique woofer loading, they are really fast and very dynamic, even with little power. They are somewhat controversial because they have to be used with the right electronics and are sensitive to set up, but they are a great speaker if used properly. I have had mine for about six months. Here is the Weaver review: http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue26/escalante_fremont.htm
What did you replace your Aerial 10T's with?
I've had my 10T's for 9 years, and still think they are pretty great, but am getting the upgrade bug. What I like best about them is that they play loud without strain, have strong low bass, and great dynamics. I'm a drummer - can you tell? However, my wife is a singer, so sweet mids for vocals is also important, and here I think the 10T's are good but not great. So, to the ex-10T owners out there, what did you upgrade to, and how do you you like what you chose? I'm thinking Wilson Sophia's might have the same attributes I like now, just more so, but am still looking for suggestions in that price range.
