I am using Aerial 5's and a CC-3 center w/my 5T's. Seamless surround. Paradigm also works well. In fact when Michael Kelly was demoing his new Aerial on wall LCR's the ceiling and side speakers were all paradigm. Worked well. W/your 7T's you should definitely go w/a 2 channel amp. One thing about the T series the speakers are easier to power vs. the old series. I'm using a Bryston 2.5 SST2 w/my 5T's. plenty of power. W/the 7T's I look at the 4B SST2 used. Also if you ask Michael Kelly one amp he likes w/his 7T's are the Gato Class D amps. I've heard these amps at my dealer and they are excellent. They are made in Denmark. There is an active Aerial thread on AVS forum w/plenty of long time users. Also a good place to get some feedback.
Finally!!! I just purchased some Aerial Acoustics 7T speakers! How do I power them???
I am very excited as i just placed my order for my Aerial Acoustics 7T speakers. Now i am trying to figure out if the associated equipment I have is suitable for driving them. I am currently running an Anthem MRX-710 and a B&K Reference 7270 THX amplifier. I am replacing Aerial 7B's but I will be keeping my Aerial cc3B center channel speaker.
My systems is truly a 50/50 split between music and movies, but I do LOVE my home theater. Do you all think that the B&K amplifier will do these speakers justice? (I am only using 3 of the 7 available channels suds there should be plenty of headroom...)
I don't see myself changing out the Anthem MRX-710 any time soon, so what do you all think I should do with the amplification stage? Just use the Anthem receiver? Keep the B&K Reference 7270 MkII amp? Upgrade to a new amp? ( I am considering a Krell Chorus 5200... thoughts on the synergy between this and the Aerial 7T's?) I am completely open for realistic opinions (I can't spend $10K on amps for these) for a multi-channel amp to power them.
Looking forward to hearing what you all have to say here. Thanks in advance!!
