Finally!!! I just purchased some Aerial Acoustics 7T speakers! How do I power them???
I am very excited as i just placed my order for my Aerial Acoustics 7T speakers. Now i am trying to figure out if the associated equipment I have is suitable for driving them. I am currently running an Anthem MRX-710 and a B&K Reference 7270 THX amplifier. I am replacing Aerial 7B's but I will be keeping my Aerial cc3B center channel speaker.
My systems is truly a 50/50 split between music and movies, but I do LOVE my home theater. Do you all think that the B&K amplifier will do these speakers justice? (I am only using 3 of the 7 available channels suds there should be plenty of headroom...)
I don't see myself changing out the Anthem MRX-710 any time soon, so what do you all think I should do with the amplification stage? Just use the Anthem receiver? Keep the B&K Reference 7270 MkII amp? Upgrade to a new amp? ( I am considering a Krell Chorus 5200... thoughts on the synergy between this and the Aerial 7T's?) I am completely open for realistic opinions (I can't spend $10K on amps for these) for a multi-channel amp to power them.
Looking forward to hearing what you all have to say here. Thanks in advance!!

So I was also told to look at the new Theta Dreadnaught D (with the Ncore 1200 modules). The only other amps that I currently have is an older Adcom 7700 (https://www.audaud.com/audaud/MAR03/EQUIP/equip2MAR03.html) that puts out 175 X 5. But that is in the box, in my climate controlled storage unit. Do you think that would possibly be a good pairing? I was also looking at a Krell TAS to be used with the older 7B speakers. Should that be a contender here? Thank again!! |
One thing to be sure of with any of these amplifiers is that You don't need shorting pins for the balanced connectors, or they don't sound their best off a fully balanced pre... If you have the clearance and rack for that TAS7.. It would be another option on my list as well.... I Went Citadel 1.5 for my mains and Sigma Amp5 for my center and surrounds(Thermals were a concern) |
