Seen them, touched them, moved them, but i have never actually heard or been intimate with Aristocrat, so i really cannot comment with an ounce of validity.

I do however know that the 414, even tho it won't dig as deep as a 416, is one sweet woofer in a ported box, my 9849's will be some of the last speakers i'll ever part with.

Try them with the Heresy stuff if it's not a lot of work, part of the fun with this stuff is trying the combinations mother nature ever intended and getting them to work well.

In all fairness my biggest gripe about the klipsch stuff is "the tweeter that isn't", the effect they have on me is not unlike cleaning your ears with a wire bottle brush.
