Aerial 10 T Owners Need Advice

Ditto what Piezo said about the 10T's. A very nice smooth midrange and non-fatigueing treble. A warm speaker overall, but the bass is a little loose and will require a beefy amp for discipline. I would recommend a SS amp, tube preamp, and cardas cable/IC's.

Bigkidz, I thought you were looking at the mezzo utopias awhile back?

I/ve owned a pair for 6 yrs and wouldn/t trade the sound for anything else in this price range. I have recently had a problem with the finish on the head unit and it/s not been resolved. I/m driving them with 200 watts of ARC s/s amp and they sound great. Don/t buy them if you don/t have very good s/s amp or very powerful tube gear. They are a nominal 4ohm load.

Jazzdude,

I was looking at the mezzo utopias but the used price was $6K and they are a little big for my room I feel. The 10Ts have a slightly smaller footprint. I have a Pass X-250 which Bound for Sound loves especially with speaker loads at 4 ohms. I have heard so many speakers over the past three months but have not found anything that really floats my boat except the Sonus and they are $7,500. The 10Ts may be just what the doctor ordered. I also was looking at the matrix B&W 801s but since they are long discontinued, B&W does not support the product any more, so I ruled them out. I did hear the Piega 3 LTDs but my matrix B&W 803s walked all over them.

Happy Listening and thanks to all for the help!
