New Aerail 10T's

I just got my new (to me) Aerial 10T's and am slowly picking my jaw up off the floor.

I'm feeding them from a Linn Unidisk SC and a single 125W x 2 from 2 channels from a Linn AV5125- I know this is virtually starving them - but I am simply blow away by them - still.

I am waiting on some newly acquired power to drive them which I suspect will only improve things.

I have fantasized about the 10T's since about 1996 - it's truly a dream come true to finally have some of my own. I know they are old news to most - but to me they are even beyond what I remeber them as being.

Sorry to blabber on and on - but I am one happy listener right now. :)

I may have spoken to Mike - I'm not sure - next time I will have to ask. We both went to NC State so I know we have shared the pain while suffering through Engineering classes. :) I have called a few times already and everyone I've spoken to has been extremely friendly.

Everyone says the more power - the happier the Aerials are. I'm going to find out how much truth there is to that.
I recently bought an EAD Powermaster 8300 (300W X 8) and was seriously considering bi-amping the 10T's with it.

I know the woofer will love the extra power - but is 300W over the top for the mid/tweeter? Thoughts? Also - does anyone have experience with the 8300 amp?

I am fairly sure he got his degree in physics from NCSU - then went to NH to teach... then on to UNC Chapel Hill (Mike what the hell were you thinking with that move??!) haha.
