Aerial 10 T and EAD Poermaster 1000 ?

Well, one thing's for certain, those of us with 10Ts are very lucky indeed! Gee Weiserb I have heard them with ARC tubes at 200 per side. It was very nice, and I didn't listen to them critically enough to compare them to my Krell. Still we're all pleased and using high end, though different, amplification. Kelly knows what he's doing!

Loving my 10Ts with BAT VK-30/VK-200 combo. Plenty of current from the BAT, wonderful texture, holographic detail. Voices especially splendid. Combines the liquidity of tubes with the slam of SS, which the Aerials punch out with gusto. This system combines the talents of Michael Kelly of Aerial and Victor Khomenko of BAT into a perfect match. Me is lucky.

You guys with 10Ts: What kinds of room treatments have you been using? And do you use the stands? I don't have any room treatments. I have it set with room objects doing absorption and reflection. I've got concrete floors (carpeted) and walls. I'm using the stands. Looking forward to your responses.

SFbaydude you want your ear to be between the tweeter and the mid-range driver.If the stands bring this mesurement too high try them just spiked directly to the floor.If you are sitting above this point you can take the felt ring off and find some 3/8's inch brass acorn nuts and place three of them were the felt was and you will get a much more focused sound stage with greater seperation.I have been an Aerial dealer since 93.As far as the original question,for home theater speakers in that size NOTHING will beat the 10T's....PERIOD!As for EAD I will be polite and just say that it is not my cup of tea.

Sound_decisions: Thanks for the comments. I've got a clarification question for you. My ears are at slightly different heights depending on the angle of my reclining listening chair; it's extremely adjustable, even height. Regardless, my ears are generally at the height you specify. Do you think that the increased separation and more focused soundstage relates to that height position or to the removal of the felt ring and replacement with brass nuts (acorn??)? I would also say that I use them in a HT setup, but mostly for listening in stereo. See my first post in this thread re my amplification; my dealer also sells EAD, and he would not let me get any EAD equipment (compared to all Krell). I've got a cc3 and SR3s. Oh another question: Do you think the cc3 sounds significantly different from the cc3b? Thanks!
