I picked up Demo Aon 3s, SuperSat 50C, and SuperSat 3s yesterday. I couldn't wait to get them home.

The Aon 3s are unbelievable. I'm driving them just with my H/K AVR-254 and they sound fantastic.

The SuperSat 50c sounds good. I have only watched one movie so far. I'm hoping with a little bit of tweaking the SuperSat 50 will sound better. It still needs to be elevated a little bit to get the height right.

I don't yet have the SuperSat 3s hooked up. I'm sure they'll do just fine as surrounds.

The Triton Twos were also available, but I didn't demo them because they aren't in my budget and I was already blown away by the Aon 3s. Obviously the Aons don't play as low as the Tritons and need a subwoofer to cover the full range. That said, the bass that the Aons put out is amazing for a bookshelf. The passive radiators get the job done. The one thing about the Aons worth noting is that because of the passive radiators they need some space to breath on both sides.

I previously demoed the KEF Q and R series speakers. The Aon 3s are very comparable to the R300s in my opinion. If you don't mind the looks of the Aon (which admittedly aren't for everybody) then save your money and get them.

Thanks for the nice comments - make sure to set the crossover for the 50C at 100Hz or higher, directing the bass to your Aons if no subwoofer. Also, unless it was a demo unit to, give the 50C a good 40-50 hours of real playing time to break it in.

Enjoy your system.

Small update. In my previous post I mentioned that the SuperSat 50C didn't sounded good but not great. At that point I had only used the it while watching a content on my Apple TV. Last night I watched Wall-E Blu-Ray. The center channel just came alive. It was fantastic. Feed it quality material and it is very good.
