Best sound ? Von Schweikert Vr 4jr or Aerial 10 t

I heard the signature 3 a few days ago on an Ayre V1Xe. It was ok. The middle to upper midrange was beautiful but the bass and treble were not special. I wouldn't consider them when up against Aerial or Wilsons.

I am getting quite different opinions about these. I like the Aerials, but I thought that maybe I would try something else.....I also have a pair of Wilson Sophia's, which I love but the Aerials are in another system in a different room....Thats why I had even thought about some older Wilson Watt Puppies......I would much rather spend 3000.00 for some speakers than 6000.00 for some used Wilsons....No HI-FI stores around here so I can't listen to anything here.....Off to the big city, Seattle or Boise.

What problems are you experiencing with the 10Ts that is causing you to consider replacing them?

Tubes and 10ts, not a good match for me. Well, tube amps that is. The 10t are a demanding load. I would not run mine on anything other than quality SS amps. Give them at least 300 watts of excellent current source and you'll be amazed at how these speakers can sing. The most common complaint about the 10t is boomy bass that is usually caused by room interactions. I have never heard a 10t sound like 9rw describes but, like any speaker, matching with the wrong equipment can make for poor playback.

I build tube amps from 3/4 watt SET to 100 watt Williamson....I might build a higher out-put tube amp to try, but never a Solid State.....Its just not in me.....Accually I like the Aerials but you know how it is with new stuff....Its part of the new "economic plan"
I just thought I might like a little larger or a little louder......or may-be just a little newer.....I am enjoying the input from other Audiogon people.....
