Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?
Although I would never trust a reviewer to pick out my own personal speakers for me, I remember a few years back a reviewer at Stereophile (Sam Tellig) reviewed the new Heritage version La Scala, and he gave that speaker a class A , limited low fr...

what replaced your Aerial 7B speakers?
Vandersteen 3A Sigs. 
Vandersteen Treo CT
Bob, Yes, the Naim Unity Atom is 40 w/ch. It drives the Treo's with ease. It produced volume louder than I could handle when turned up, burt even at loud levels, it maintained it's clarity. 
Hey That's Not So Bad if It's Class D
Nothing wrong with the sound of Class D amps. It's comments like, "They did not get me emotionally involved with the music." It's statements like that that will drive a amplifier manufacturer NUTS. 
Krell KSA 250 amps
Those were, and still are wonderful amps, when working properly. I don't normally agree with ebm, but he is right about repairing them before sale. :-)

Vandersteen Treo CT
rsure,The Naim Uniti Atom is a terrific integrated. tomic601 has that amp on his Vandy Treo Ct's. I've been to his place a few times to listen to that system and all I can say is WOW! What a superb sounding set-up! Naim pairs wonderfully with Vand... 
Wolfson dac
I believe several Cdp companies use the Wolfson chips. Rega included. 
Paradigm Persona series
Vandersteen awhile back offered to give people a $500 discount on any new Vandersteen speaker that was their Treo Ct. or higher with a trade of any Series 2 speakers. 
Vandersteen 2ce Signature and Signature 2?
Richard Vandersteen isn't one to change letter/number designation very often in his speakers. As John Rutan said, look at the drivers. The small but significant changes in driver topology will give you a clue as to what you have as long as you kno...
