Aerial 10T's - Temporary Solution

The best amp I have heard with them is the Bryston 4BSST, next the Bryston 7BST which means the 4BST will also work well. They are so complete with the Bryston, I pulled out the tube amp and left in the Bryston. I also have added a ribbon tweeter and will replace the mids with carbon fiber ones. The tweeter is already an improvement in a great speaker.

Schipo, sorry, but the only assumption I made was which one the OP would like better. I bought a Luxman R-117 after listening to a B&K receiver, among others (NAD, Arcam, etc). Granted, just because I liked the Luxman better than the B&K doesn't mean that Shoff will.

Congratulations on getting a great speaker. My 10T's are 14 years old, and I still love them. Great bass, smooth neutral midrange and silky highs.

Can't comment on the B&K vs the Luxman. But eventually you want to go for a big SS amp capable of at least 200+ wpc into 4 ohms, with lots of current delivery (more is better here).

I drive mine with Bryston 7BST's, and the sound is awesome!

IMO the 10T is a classic benchmark speaker.

I went thru the hassle of connecting and disconnecting to do comparisons. The Luxman R-117 did in fact beat the B&K 305 quite handily. Thanks to all who posted!

Man...that takes me back in time about 20 years....I wish I could go back and do it all over again.....
Anyway, enjoy the R-117, it's the best receiver I ever owned.
