Dan, I helped a friend set up his 10T's and we tried two amplifiers, the Rowland Concentra 2 and the Bryston 7BST monoblocks. The Rowland was very good, but did not quite have the muscle of the Brystons. The top end of the Rowland was more open and pure however. The 10Ts need a lot of power. A 150 wpc is necessary in a small or modest room. Large rooms with vaulted ceilings will need more power. The Brystons at 500wpc are good choices. The Classe's mentioned earlier are also good choices. The Rowland too is great if your room is not huge. Just remember, this speaker is hungry for power and needs to be fed well. Jallen
Aerial 10T Owners and Anyone that can help
Here is my deal and gear:
Gear:
Theta Casablanca
EAD TheaterVision CD/DVD
Citation 7.1's (3)
Aerial 10T's
Now, the deal:
I have the 7.1 bridged into 2 channels, 450 x 2 @8ohms, very high current, 70 amperes. My gain is set to 0 on the Theta and using Madonna cd for pushing limits or the gear.
First, at excruciatingly loud volumes, the music will start to cut in and out. When I turn it down, it is fine. So, I am thinking it is the amp. I finally switched amps, to a Marantz MA-24 (30WPC CLASS A) and the same thing happens.
Here is my GUESS (guess being the key word here):
The Aerial 10T's have some type of cut off from the power amps to prevent damage to the drivers. Is it possible too much juice or distortion? What would cause the speakers (assuming this is the culprit of shutdown) to do this?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
