I agree with the comments stated in earlier replies. I too have heard speakers that cost twice as much or getting the hot press, and I did not come away wanting to trade up/down (yes, I own 10Ts). You can get a "faster speaker" or a "tighter bass" speaker (Verity Parsifal, but you will make trade and can tweak the 10Ts to provide better/closer performance for much less $$. I have not found even the Parsifals to have the mid warmth or body to the image. I could not make that trade. Same comment with Silverline Sonatas. Trades but not better. Only concern is using 10Ts for Home Theater, but, hey if you've got the money (or can buy them used), it's your call. If you do go used, make sure that you get the latest version. The older version (rubber woffer and differnet tweaker) will only make the speaker sound darker and slower. Please no reples/bashing by those who won the older version. It's my matter of choice. Good luck!
***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!
