Sorry "bigpoppa"! Yes...it's sometimes hard to know when someone is serious or just being lightheartedly sarcastic. Trust me I do indeed understand as I had an ex wife who loved to be brutally sarcastic. (ouch) :( I quickly realized your wit after viewing your superb system and seeing your Logans! (Very Nice BTW.) No doubt indeed, you are well versed regarding "hybrids". Id say you have it covered pretty well. I almost want to go out and find me another pair! Enjoy! :)
Hybrid doesn't necessarily have to mean tube with SS. Speaker manufacturer's have been building their so called hybrid designs usually incorporating dynamic drivers with either a ribbon,ESL, or something other than a conventional cone dynamic driver. The ae. aerius is a qualified hybrid speaker and a very good one at that..:)
Sweet looking set up and nice choices of components! Its funny to me.....Of the 3 different pairs of Logans Iv'e owned over the years each had their nice qualities and of course their drawbacks. My Aerius i's were easliy the best to sound right in my rooms, and the easiest speaker of the 3 to blend with a sub. My room was about 15x20 and they were wonderful. I wish I hadn't felt the need to "upgrade" to the bigger panels, as they were harder to integrate and need much more power.A High quality sub for the Aerius is a good move and I wish you the best with your set up. Take it from me, You have a great little speaker that will give you much enjoyment! :) ken
