I currently own the Aerial 8's which are quite similar to the 10t's. I drive the speakers with two Classe Ca-150's in mono and found that they love power. They come alive at low and high listening levels. The bass is tight and impressive. Good listening Steve
How do you troubleshoot a pair of Aerial 10Ts?
I just returned from a long drive to pick up a nice pair of Aerial 10Ts, only to be very disappointed with lean bass and thin sound. The imaging and midrange was wonderful but the low end authority just stunk. A direct A-B comparison with my Soliloquy 5.3s revealed that my "upgrade" wasn't really "up."
Not to be discouraged, I went through the usual troubleshooting which included checking all connections, verifying that the drivers were indeed working, polarity, positioning, alternate impedance taps, etc. I have narrowed the problem down to the following (assuming that there is nothing wrong with the speakers themselves):
1) My SF Power 2 needs new tubes
2) Different cables may correct this
3) A more powerful, non-tube amplifier may be in order
To all 10t owners:
Have you ever tried a comparible tube amp with these speakers? Does my story sound at all familiar?
Help.
