If you can get them cheap or free I’d get them ASAP and worry about the rest of the gear later. In the meantime I’d pull your 7Bs to the side and see how the 6Ts fair, as the smaller but newer model may still be preferred. I have a pair of 7Bs as well and I’d definitely compare them against the 6Ts first. Let us know how it works out.
Anyone have experience with Aerial Acoustics 6Ts?
I have an opportunity to get a pair of Aerial Acoustics 6T tower speakers for cheap or possibly even for free.
I currently have a pair of Aerial Acoustics 7B towers as my primary speakers. They are driven by a single Madrigal Proceed HPA2 (Mark Levinson) 250 watt amp. It is my understanding that the 7Bs need that sort of power. And they do sound exceptional with 250.
The 6Ts would be a secondary system in my living room. The SQ demands will not be high as they will mostly be used for background and casual listening. My question is, what will I need as a minimum to drive them? The specs say 25 watts but > 50 is recommended. Does anyone have experience with these speakers? Recommendations for real world minimum wattage?
I may be able to get the components that are currently driving these speakers but I do not know what they are. I am pretty sure it is home theater system which I am not interested in particularly. Whatever goes in the living room is going to have to be discrete and as invisible as possible. I'm having a hard enough time convincing my wife to let me put the 6Ts in there.
Alternately there is also a pair a 5Ts that are part of the same system. Their specs say 25-200 watts. Any experience or advice with these would be greatly appreciated as well.
Not sure if this will all come together but would like to know the minimum I can get away with spending on components for this living room set up as it will not get used all that much.
Thanks,
George
