Aerial 10t vs. Aerial 9's

10t will have a bit more lower end than the 9 and the top end is a tad more extended....either speaker is a good choice. I owned 10t's for quite a while and liked them enough that after a few other speakers I bought 20t's.

I've heard the 9 quite a bit, not quite the LF extension of the 10t, you really can't go wrong either way if you like the Aerial house sound as I do.

Either speaker will show you exactly what is wrong or right in the upstream components. Both will want clean high current solid-state amps.

Your MF integrated will get you in the door. A good starting point. As you step up your amp, you will find better woofer control on the 10t's. I have found that both Classe and Levinson amps push my buttons with Aerials. The McIntosh 501 monos also do a nice job.

MF builds good stuff. I think you are off to a great start.
Please post again when you get the 10t's and let us know how your adventure is going.

Best,

Paul :-)
