ikeme and sony scd 777es, conditioner is chang lightspeed
9900 for the amp and ps audio p300 for the preamp and source...ic's are nordost quattro fil for all (just purchased and actually on the way)and speaker cable will be
nordost spm reference...I HAVE USED AND SOLD THE FOLLOWING
SPEAKERS for these set-up (except that i havent used the
nordost line in these configuration, but have used cardas
golden reference ic and golden cross speaker cable in biwire
set-up) AERIAL ACOUSTICS 7B, MIRAGE OM8 AND OM6, MONITOR AUDIO SILVER 5i AND 7i, DEFINITIVE TECH. BP3000TL...AND RIGHT NOW I AM ON THE BERGE OF UPGRADING TO A BETTER (???)SOUNDING SPEAKERS...MY CHOICES ARE THE FOLLOWING IN ORDER

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADD TO ANY OF MY CHOICES IF YOU'VE USED
THEM WITH THE BRYSTON 7ST OR AT LEAST HEARD THEM ON A DEMO..MY HOMETOWN IS SO FAR AWAY FROM MOST HI-END DEALERS
WHICH LIMITS ME FROM MAKING AN AUDITION...YOUR COMMENTS WILL
BE GREATLY APPRECIATED... by the way i mostly listened to
classic rock music (like pink floyd, van halen, bad co., etc) and my music room is roughly, i would say moderate size..I'VE HAD FUN WITH THE SPEAKERS THAT I'VE USED AND
MENTIONED ABOVE BUT I JUST FEEL THE ITCH (AGAIN..AND AGAIN) TO TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT FOR THE LAST TIME (???, THAT'S
WHAT I TOLD MY WIFE)...THANKS IN ADVANCE FOLKS!!!

Try the PMC FB-1 speakers. They are imported in North America by Bryston. These two companies make their gear to go hand in hand. They both supply major recording studios worldwide and they truly know what the "original event" should sound like. I'm currently using the FB-1 with a pair of Bryston 7B-ST monos and a BP25 preamp. The sound is dynamic, alive and highly detailed. Read reviews on the PMC speakers at www.bryston.ca
I have a Bryston 4B-ST that I occasionally use in my main system with Vienna Acoustics Mahlers with great success.

The Mahlers may be appealing to you, a rock 'n roller, because they go loud as hell with kick-ass bass, are very musical, and love clean power. You need a big room, however, or will have too much bass.

Incidentally, Robert Deutch of Stereophile positively reviewed the Mahlers with SPM speaker cable.

Good luck.
I have a pair of Bryston 7b-sts on my Aerial 8bs.
Truly stunning! Of your list, I'd stay stay w/ the Aerials. Best for your money...
I own 7b st's as well. I've heard all your 4 items, I'd rank them in this order:
Aerial 10t's, then THiels, then B&W, and last PRoAc. I went with the Aerial 7b's myself. I might switch the B&W w/ the Thiels depending on the day and weather.
