***Aerial 10Ts - What's your opinion?***

I'm considering purchasing a pair of Aerial 10Ts. I currently have the Aerial CC3 center channel and I'm very impressed. I have heard the 10Ts driven by a Classe CAV150 and was very impressed. I currently have a pair of M&K S150THX speakers for the front matched with my Aerial CC3 (and they do match nicely!). I also have a Sunfire MKII Subwoofer to fill in the lower frequencies. Also - I use this system 99% for Home Theater (just plain watching movies). What are your opinions of the 10Ts? Think they would work well for Home Theater and sound better than the M&K 150s? Any strength/weaknesses of the 10Ts? Thanks!

Hey Dub, IMHO - Since you 99% watch movies, why spend the $$$$ on the 10T's when you could just go with the Aerial 5 or 7, and still be matched with your center channel speaker? The 10T is wonderful, but I think you are overkilling using it when you have the Sunfire Sub. If you've got the $$$$, get the 10T's and use them in a seperate audio only setting, properly set up and equipped (source, i/c's, pre-amp, amp, spkr cables, ROOM), and they will REALLY shine there. Good luck!

An excellent choice for a music/home theatre system. They have very good dynamics and bass. Qualties that many outstanding music only loudspeakers can sucessfully sacrifice. I have only heard them with top of the line Pass amplification (outstanding products in thier own right). I would be cautious about matching components with theses speakers. I suspect that they may become a bit fatiguing with some lesser equipment.

I have two systems One dedicated 2 channel with 10t's, and a HT system in another room with Martin Logans. 10t is a giant killer, I've heard speakers for twice list of 10t's that can't better them. Not just owner loyalty, I listened for over a year to many brands and just could not justify spending any more money in the end. 10t will be very revealing of your source components, cables powercords etc. Be prepared for trial and error! To end, buying 10t's is a no brainer, don't look back, just do it! Paul
