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

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.....

There are plenty of affordable high output Tube amps out there.Consonance Cyber 800's,Mesa Baron,Rogue 120/150/88 & 90 to name a few.I've also owned several "Tubey" solid state amps which are capable of driving the 10t's and just about anything else.They include The Muse model 160 series II,Plinius SA 100mk.III.and the venerable Hafler XL600.The Aragon 8008BB is also a very nice sounding amp that will dive whatever speakers you pair it with.
BTW,The VS VR-4SE is an amazing speaker!
