Condition isn’t stated, but at US$1,999 this is very ambitious for a used CC5. Aerial’s current list price is US$3,995 new, and solid used examples typically land well below that; unless this is mint, fully boxed, and with hard-to-find matching finish, it’s priced above what most center-channel buyers would call comfortable.
That said, the CC5 is a genuinely respected center: clean midrange, excellent dialogue intelligibility, and the sort of tonal consistency that makes it a strong match for Aerial mains. If the cabinet, drivers, and grille are pristine and the seller can confirm proper operation, it’s a worthwhile piece for a serious Aerial system—but at this number, I’d want exceptional condition and complete accessories to justify it.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Aerial Acoustics traces its roots to 1989, when music enthusiasts Michael Kelly and David Marshall, former engineers at a/d/s, left to pursue their vision of superior loudspeakers. Kelly, armed with a Master’s from MIT’s Sloan School, formally incorporated the company in 1991 in the suburbs north of Boston, Massachusetts. Their debut Model 10T floorstander, featuring a pioneering cast-in-house Novalith stone head and Kevlar midrange, quickly captured audiophile acclaim and financed further growth, embodying New England’s artisan heritage of meticulous craftsmanship.
The brand focuses exclusively on high-performance loudspeakers, spanning floorstanders, bookshelves, on-wall designs, and home theater systems. Every model integrates state-of-the-art custom drivers, advanced crossovers, and furniture-grade cabinets, all designed and hand-built in their American facility. Standouts include the award-winning 20T V2, along with recent favorites like the 6T and 7T, prioritizing acoustic precision over diversification into amplifiers, DACs, or cables.
Positioned as a boutique high-end contender, Aerial Acoustics delivers concert-hall realism and build quality rivaling pricier rivals, with pairs like the 5T bookshelves starting around $3,800. Dealers praise its unwavering support for legacy products, fostering loyalty among discerning buyers who value made-in-USA excellence and understated elegance in a market dominated by imports.
