That wasn't my problem. Fleetwood Mac and others sounded great. On the Journey greatest hits CD some tracks sound fine and some sound compressed and mixed with a heavy bump in the upper mid-range/lower treble. I had tried a lot of CD players on loan back in the 90s like Wadia, Meridian...

It was your electronics for sure. I was using a Classe Audio pre amp and power amp and a very resolving CD player with my Aerius-i in the late 90s. swapping in other (sometimes cheaper) gear took that twinkle right out of the music. The wrong interconnects would do that too.. The power cord...

I also see that the 9's have similar specs to the Aerius-i and crossover at 380htz which is why the Aerius-i vocals were off. The SL3 crosses over at 250htz which lets more of the vocal cone out of the panel. I stand corrected... LOL And that's a comfortable price for me. Wish they were...

No doubt it is worth it to keep good things running. I agree. Especially cars! I cherish my 6 speed manual transmission as Corp America has all but eliminated it from every car to streamline production and ensure the highest profits. If my amp stopped working, I would pay up to get it...

Thanks for confirming my suspicion on price.

I am curious what the total cost was to replace all the aged parts. I have a Classe pre/power from from the 90's that's all original. What I have now sounds ok to me so to have a surprise of $1200+ wouldn't be worth it.

New those are $7,500 new. Not sure I will find them used for for under $5,000. Are they warm sounding like the Gen 1 Logans? People say the newer Logans are not warm but more clinical.

I remember the high-pitched twinkle of the triangles on Fleetwood Mac dancing about playfully in the air so crisp let not bright or harsh on the Aerius-i many years ago. I'd like to have 2 sets of speakers with one giving me those delicate, crisp, floating, highs that I keep remembering the...

Thanks for chiming in. If the reading I have done is correct, the older logans are warmer while the new ones are more clinical and exacting. I am more than willing to buy and resell several used models until I figure out which one I like best, but I'd like to get a top 3 "likely good-fit"...

When I had Aerius back in 1998 the highend dealer said it would be foolish to spend any money upgrading the power cord because the only thing is does is keep a charge on the panel and that my power amp and speaker cables were the only things that would influence the speaker's reproduction of...

Back in time, in the 1998 era of audio I owned a pair of Aerius i. I drove them with a Classe Audio CA-100/model 30 Preamp/Sony X7ES CD Player. I liked the sparkle in the highs but some how the vocals sounded off. Bass too. Maybe my setup or equipment. Who knows. I eventually sold them to...
