New Aerail 10T's

I may have spoken to Mike - I'm not sure - next time I will have to ask. We both went to NC State so I know we have shared the pain while suffering through Engineering classes. :) I have called a few times already and everyone I've spoken to has been extremely friendly.

Everyone says the more power - the happier the Aerials are. I'm going to find out how much truth there is to that.
I recently bought an EAD Powermaster 8300 (300W X 8) and was seriously considering bi-amping the 10T's with it.

I know the woofer will love the extra power - but is 300W over the top for the mid/tweeter? Thoughts? Also - does anyone have experience with the 8300 amp?

Hi Jim,

I think Mike Kelly is a graduate of New Hampshire University, but I could be thinking of someone else. In any case, the 10t's are a classic speaker. I bought Beemer's (Hi Paul!) and they have been wonderful. Even though I've changed speakers in my stereo I'll probably keep the 10t's and see how they work in my HT. Placement is very important with them. You'll know when it's right because the bass will sharpen and not sound muddy. Get them far away from any walls.

Enjoy!

I am fairly sure he got his degree in physics from NCSU - then went to NH to teach... then on to UNC Chapel Hill (Mike what the hell were you thinking with that move??!) haha.

the most dynamic speaker i have ever heard on the planet, the A-10ts with the Danish Gyphon Class A-100, about $3,000.00 used on Audiogon, I believe. The Amp will draw enough current from the wall to cause your juice bill to spike, but it will be worth it.

No, 300W is not too much. I drive my 10T's with a Krell FPB400cx. It's rated at 400W/per channel into 8 ohms, and measured 913W into 4 in a review. And I crank it.
