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 see you mentioned digital room correction. The room is a bigger factor than I ever imagined. I would definitely try some form of digital correction first. If you're still not hearing what you expect, then spend the big money on some new speakers.

My system isn't quite the level of yours, but it is pretty good, and when I added a TacT RCS 2.0 EVERYTHING improved.

Tinear,

I know your speakers very well and they are very good, I also owned the EMC-1 CDP which is also very good. You might want to try different cables. I owned the blue heavens which I thought were good until I tried better cabling and then found how limiting the blue heavens were.

Stringreen,

Describing the Krell as a 'sledgehammer' is not far off, which can be really fun at times for the slam, and my new ARC LS-26 has really smoothed out the hard edges on the softer material.
