I absolutely love them and would purchase them again if they were cheaper for the bedroom or living room. There is the Chora aswell but they are not cheaper even though they should be. Considering as the living room speakers are mounted high up on the ceiling almost against the rear wall due to the wife factor, the bedroom is mounted right on the wall also high for the same reason spending more than $300 for me is a waste of money. The aria's really do need breathing room and roughly 6ft of spacing apart, if you dont have that i would look at something else. They are not bright but perfect for my ears. The soundstage is addicting and the star of the show in my opinion because the signature is neutral, it whisk's you away into the music as it places instruments around the stage, before you know it an hour has passed leaving you feeling relaxed with a blank mind. It was so mind blowing for me when you reach an almost meditative state being drawn into the music, in certain songs i experienced sounds from behind, almost like surround sound but not quite. In fact at one point i thought something fell upstairs or someone was dragging a fridge across the floor which scared the crap out of me, i went to check and it turns out it was the song.
