I was thinking of auditioning the Ariel 20T speakers as well as the center channel that would go along with it. In addition I also plan on auditioning the Revel Salon 2 and the comparable center channel.
I presently have Thiel CS6 for left and right and an MCS-1 center speaker along with Thiel in wall side speakers and their Powerpoint surrounds. My amps are Levinson and DVD / processor is Meridian 861 / 800 respective
Does anyone have any experience with Ariel and specifically the 20Ts, and Revel, specificallyh the Salon 2 as well as the Thiels? What is your opinion? I do get a great sound stage and imaging from the Thiels, but they are very unforgiving and somewhat forward. What are the strengths and weaknesses of Ariel speakers?
Also I know that you want to keep the L-C-R speakers tonally the same but can you go with L-C-R speakers from one manufacturer and sides and surrounds from another?
Thanks,
Ken
