About the 7B

The Aerial Acoustics 7B is a 3-way, 4-driver loudspeaker system designed for discriminating listeners seeking accurate tonal balance, precise imaging, tight bass, and excellent transparency. It features a compact, slender column design with impeccable finish available in black ash, cherry, maple, and rosewood. The cabinet is heavily braced with 2-inch thick walls and constrained-layer damping to minimize coloration. It uses two 7.1-inch (180 mm) cast magnesium alloy frame woofers with damped bilaminate composite cones and large vented magnet structures for quick, dynamic, and deep bass. The midrange driver is a 5-inch (125 mm) cast magnesium alloy frame unit with a damped bilaminate composite cone mounted in a separate wool-filled chamber for clarity and natural midrange. The tweeter is a 1-inch (25 mm) precision titanium dome with a large magnet structure and multiple vents for extended, smooth treble response. The crossover frequencies are at 400 Hz and 2.7 kHz with 24 dB/octave slopes, using premium components on glass-epoxy PCBs with high-purity copper wiring and silver solder. Sensitivity is 86 dB at 2.83 V/1m, impedance nominally 6 ohms, and recommended amplifier power is 50 to 350 watts. The speaker weighs approximately 43 kg and measures 1092 x 216 x 394 mm (HxWxD). It offers bi-wiring/bi-amping terminals and optional spiked stands for improved bass and stability. Sonically, the 7B is described as slightly warm and laid-back yet detailed and transparent, with powerful, deep bass that may require placement adjustment to avoid overpowering in some rooms. It is praised for its craftsmanship, tonal balance, and dynamic capability, suitable for both high-quality music and home theater applications. Price ranges from about to depending on finish.
