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 the aerial 10t's with a rosewood finish and thoroughly enjoy their sonic abilities as well as their first rate fit'n finish. Even with mediocre amplification they are a very good speaker. However, they like lot's of power and are not a very efficient speaker.

Since upgrading my amp to a McCormack DNA 2 LAE, the speakers have really shined.

Also, the bass repro is excellent.

If you have the right amplifier, I believe you will not be disappointed with the 10t's. Without the right amp, you'll still be satisfied but left wanting.

But isn't this true with any match?
