Von Schweikert VR5 or Aerial 10T

I realize they both are fabulous speakers. And that I will be more than happy with either one but I wanted to get some thoughts or comments from those who may have some more experience with the speakers than I. Some additional information for consideration. The speakers may also be used for home theater? Room size is approximately 1800 square feet. Associated equipment: Aloia 11.01 preamp and either a Llano 300 or AV Reality EAR2 amp. Thanks in advance.

I own 10t's. Far too many people equate these as an HT speaker due to M. Kelly's excellent website. Fact is, most folks and dealers as well never put the 10t's up with their better equipment. I run mine as follows:

source: sony scd777es or BAT VKD5SE
preamp: BAT VK50SE
amps: Levinson 33H

Have I heard better? Yes. It would cost me an additional 30K. Law of diminishing return applies big time.

Unlike some speakers I've owned in the past, the 10t revealed new things with every upgrade ahead of them, be it cable or electronics.

I haven't heard the VR5, however I'm sure it's a great speaker as well, best of luck no matter which you choose. For me, I'm happy with the 10t's and my other speaker, Infinity IRS Betas. I swap between the two and get my fix of planars vs cones regularly!
