Well I guess you could say that because the Aerial is hard to localize in a room it sounds better with music. It also has damping adjustments. But my old ULD15 sounded damn good too. I changed because I believed what I was told...Aerial is better for music. Like I said you will be happy with either. The DD12's have a lot to offer with room correction. The Aerial has a manual single parametric equalizer that does help with one room resonant frequency. But thats all.

It's up to you...I love my SW12's but I loved my old Velodyne too. The SW12 will sound awesome for theater too. Especially with two subs!
