Aerial Acoustics 7B's FS

[Tomorrow]

$1600!!

Pre-tax season sacrifice sale of my cherry Aerial Acoustics 7B pair. These are for pickup only, or I can deliver within reasonable distance to coastal Oregon. You'll not find a pair in this nice condition for anywhere near this price! Will not ship.

New, these speakers sold for $6100, which included $600 for the Sound Anchor stands. This model has, just a couple of months ago, been replaced by Aerial Acoustics with the 7T...at $9500! Yikes. Here is the link to the Aerial website. http://www.aerialacoustics.com/products/index.aspx Below the specs are the pics. Please PM me for details.----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can vouch to the great sound of these.

Why wasn't this sale mentioned while I was there and could have shipped them home? .....or would you like to bring them here when you and DJ come to the BBQ?

Hey Rick. You'll just have to come out again. No distracting hospital stays this time!!

Hey Rick. You'll just have to come out again. No distracting hospital stays this time!!

I can tell you we've been looking into it.
The flight length and scheduled times suck; an entire day gets wasted with traveling.

When you drive the speakers out in July, would you please wrap them in a blanket.

 

[Swerd]

Let's assume you sell them…

What veneer are you thinking of for your new Salks? ​

 

[billy p]

Hey RJ, good luck with the sale of your speakers and if you decide on buying the Salks...please give a listen to the Aperion GVT...before you do?

Just saying because I really like those suckers and with Tom's review...I'm still sitting on the fence....

Regards, Bill

Hi guys. Greetings. It has been awhile.

Thanks for the tip, Bill. I liked the Aperion VGB's we auditioned. Rich...you're just gonna have to wait to see. Of course, I have to move the Aerials first....gotta drive them out to Rick's house in NJ. Yeah....right. hahaaaaa

 

[billy p]

thanks..but it wasn't so much a tip...you had mentioned doing so in one of your comments over at AVS...I believe.... I'd just like to hear your opinion on them...if and when...

 

[HarryK]

I'm interested in these if they're still available. I can also pick up on the Oregon coast.

What Model were you thinking at least, if your not going to divulge the veneer...?

Hi Harry.

Let me think about it. I still have the Aerials, but don't have the immediate need for a sale right now. (Although tax season is rolling around again...ugh.) I'll PM you in a day or two after consultation with She-Who-Sets-All-Rules.

Hahaaaa. Hi Warp. The model would have been YOURS if I had sold the Aerials when I wanted to. I really like the looks of those mini-SS's. But right now, I don't think I'm in a position to do anything. Love the SS12's...that's a pipe dream. Dennis' Phil 2's interest me greatly because of affordability. But I'd also happily own any model of Jim's.

Are you still diggin' your set?

 

[Warpdrv]

Cool.....

I can't say that I have been disappointed with the latest upgrade - the RAAL's with the Accutons are an awesome combo...

I'm sure you'd be thrilled with any of Jims products, but no question in my mind that Dennis's speakers will give you all that and a bag of chips for a great price..

Good luck on the sale and keep us posted..

Damn, I really like these speakers and that is a ridiculous price. Aerials are sublime.

Yes they are! That's a great adjective for describing the Aerial models.

Hi John. I dig this picture of the innards of the Aerials. Some sorta resonance-free construction, yes?!! There aren't too many speakers made with 2" baffles. (7B is in the front right.) It hurts my (and especially AverageJoe's) back just thinking about moving these 100+ lb. beasts.

 

[jephdood]

Before I scaled back a bit I owned a pair of 7b's. Best speaker I've owned. Wish I could swing getting a pair back in here.

 

[Tomorrow]

Thanks to all who have expressed interest in these speakers. We have decided to keep the Aerials.....for the time being.....
