IME, it takes more than 300 watts/channel to get the 10t's to really sing. I like mine, but they're not the most efficient speaker by far. I wouldn't bridge your amp just to get more power. This will divide in half the impedance the amp sees and just makes it run hotter. I also think most amps sound better in stereo mode. You could get another identical amp and connect them vertically to the speakers. That is, one channel of each amp driving the woofers and the other channel driving the uppers. However, I still think the 10t's need a lot more power. It may be cheaper and more satisfying in the long run to find another, more efficient speaker.
2nd Rowland Model 1 to improve my Aerial 10Ts?
My first day and post here, so pardon me if I stumble a bit!
I have a pair of Aerial 10Ts, Wadia 6 CD Player going balanced in to an old Rowland Model 1 (60 watts @ 8 ohms, 120 watts @ 4 ohms or 360 watts bridged), with interconnects and speaker cables being Synergistic Research that are essentially matched for the gear. I thoroughly enjoy what I hear, which is why there have been no purchases in 5+ years. However, I sometimes think about adding a second Rowland Model 1, but have no idea what benefits, if any, I would get. My room is adequate...not bad and not great. I listen at moderate volumes, generally listening to blues, jazz, and classical. What improvements might I get by beefing up the power with a second amp? My thanks in advance!
