Those interested in my long review (ie. some 20 pages) on the Aerial package, can e-mail me at: gomezjv@pdvsa.com . Alternatively, I posted the reviews in four parts at the Audio and Video Improvement forum of the AVS web site: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=109811

I hope you find the review interesting and useful.

Best regards,

Product Weakness: 1. High cost.
2. LR5/CC5/SR3 speakers are power-hungry and need lots of controlled power. Not suitable for many low to mid-line receivers.
Product Strengths: System impervious to the most extrem dynamic whacks. Exceptional performance for home theater duty. Great system for music, too. Speaker cabinets are truly deluxe furniture-grade.
