I have been a Aerial owner for the past 7 years, I have owned them all from the 5 through the 10, I was ready for a change after the last couple of years with my 8B's, I listened to the L3 and L5, they seemed to be a step back from the 8B, after looking at reveiws from owners I took a chance and picked up a pair of Tyler Ref Monitors on a auction, I found them to be just what I was looking for, image, detail and a fabulous tweeter, I got lucky, they also blend well with my aerial cc3 center, sr3 rear and sw12 sub. all of which I am going to keep, I found myself listening to music again instead of thinking about upgrades all the time,
