Amp for Aerial 10T

A good friend & fellow audio bud has the 10T's & ran them for yrs. w/Pass 350. He sold that & got a big Blue Circle amp & is using a Hovland pre. I have yet to hear that setup because he moved, but he tells me it's even better than w/the Pass & First Sound.

I also heard a different set of 10T's w/Pass 600 monoblocks. It was an even better presentation than the 350.

I'm not a fan of metal dome tweeters but he had his modified so they weren't as forward sounding & with the addition of a tube pre, these sound very good w/plenty of bass impact.

I'm running mine with older model Classe CA301's in the HT. These were my 2-ch speakers several years ago. IMO the best sound I was able to achieve was with the one 301 on the right woofer and another on the left, with my PP Lectron powering the mid/tweeter of both speakers. The gains of the amps need to be very close to do this, but the 10Ts really opened up.

I have also heard the 10t powered by some huge ML amps. The more power, the more this speaker likes it.

My 10T's sounded good with the ARC D300, and the Quicksilver Silver 90's.

I have had 10T's for 10 years. The best I have heard on them is the Levinson 436 monoblocks. Those are MUCH better than the 336, 333, 23.5 all of which I owned for multiple years.

I heard a pair of 10T's driven by a McIntosh MC2000 and I must say to this day that it was one of those systems I would never forget. Absolutely gorgeous sound. I think at the time the amp listed for about 15K. Worth every penny!
