Amp Upgrade for Aerial 10t's


I've got a pair of Aerial 10t's driven with a MacIntosh-7106 amplifier. The amps 6 channels are bridged to 3 at 200 watts each (third is for Aerial Center Channel). I'm looking for recommendations for upgrading the amp. My thought is to use the 7106 on the center still and get something new to drive the 10t's.

Two amps on my research list are the Plinius SA-250 and the BAT VK-500.

Any recommendations are appreciated.

To power the Aerials, I believe your best bang for the buck is a big solid state amp. I drive my Aerial 9's with a McCormack DNA 500 which is a great match. While these would not better my McCormack, I have been watching this ad and wondering how good they might sound:

(maybe find only one for sale, or better a 350 Reference)

Good luck.
The best amps I heard on 10Ts were:

Jeff Rowland Model 112
McCormack DNA-1 (but nowadays I would give the DNA-500 a try)

I also heard a Gryphon that was nice on them too.

These would be on my short list.

Good Luck!
I drove my Aerials with the Anthem Statement P5 - 325 W. It was the only amp I heard that could tame the bass.
i own a pair of 10T's that i just recently mated with a Krell KSA-50s. Dont let the 50 wpc fool you, specs can mislead you and i was certainly guilty of that for years. i made a good friend who reviews audio equipment, a guy who has had the very best in his system, and he recommended this amp to me. clean, more detailed bass. the highs are not as harsh or bright as they were, but still accurate and resolving. the amp improved the speakers performance so much that it was unreal. its not neccesarily how much power it can produce at 8 ohms, but how good the power is below 8 ohms. buy a krell, you cant go wrong.
I own the 10T's too.I intent to use a pair of Rogue M150's on the top with a Rogue Zeus on the bottom,in a bi-amp mode.
I do have all the amps e.t.c at home in storage at the moment due to my ever ongoing renovations,I am hoping to be done in the next few months.
