What did you replace your Aerial 10T's with?


I've had my 10T's for 9 years, and still think they are pretty great, but am getting the upgrade bug. What I like best about them is that they play loud without strain, have strong low bass, and great dynamics. I'm a drummer - can you tell? However, my wife is a singer, so sweet mids for vocals is also important, and here I think the 10T's are good but not great. So, to the ex-10T owners out there, what did you upgrade to, and how do you you like what you chose? I'm thinking Wilson Sophia's might have the same attributes I like now, just more so, but am still looking for suggestions in that price range.

I replaced mine with the Eros by Innersound. I liked the 10T's, but missed dipoles. I kept the Eros for about 5-6 years but was never in love with them. I recently got rid of them to buy a used pair if Infinity RS-1b's, which I love. It's been a circle, because I sold my original pair of RS1b's and replaced them with the 10t's!!.
My original pair of RS-1b's had constant driver failures, but the used pair I got does not have that problem. Perhaps because I am running tubes on top now.
I know I have not been much help to you. Sorry. Hey check out Bob Carver's new speakers-got a great review in AS.

Electrocompaniet EMC-1 CD Player (old version, not EMC-1UP)
ARC LS-26 preamp
Krell 400cx power amp
Blue Heaven interconnects and speaker cables

The obvious culprit is the room, though pretty to look at with a big cathedral ceiling, is a nightmare as an accoustic environment, but it's the living room, so what can you do?

I may have misspoken a bit - everything sounds pretty darn good (especially with the recent additon of the ARC LS-26!). I was just wondering what might make it better. Next best improvement for me might just be digital room correction!

Still, I am curious about what 10T owners that have changed to something else found that they thought was an upgrade to the 10T.
Jaybo, that's a very interesting claim. They do seem to share common strengths. Have you been able to do a detailed comparison?
Going to a tube amp would solve the mid issues, but probably would not do drums quite so well as the Krell.
yes...in the same showroom, and seperately. the aerial is a bit fussier with other components, but i'm still guessing its the room. sometimes boredom sets in..even with great stuff, too.
