Working things out now....For these...
I've heard them....I can believe how good they are for almost any price.

Congrats oldguy!!!
Great minds think alike but apparently so do ours...

I'm closing tommorow on my dream speakers, too!

For an all around speaker I would not look any further than these babies.
For the music I like.....Old School stuff mainly,.....these speakers bring it to life in a way that not even the B&W do.
Don't get me wrong both are wonderful......It comes down to taste at the end of the day.

Looks like Aerial Acoustics model 10T if my memory serves me correctly. I auditioned a pair of those in the late 90's at Woodbridge Stereo with Classe' amplification, a very nice speaker.

You are right....Aerial they are.Truly the hidden gem among speakers.

From the Stereophile review of the Aerial 10T :
"...I wouldn't recommend this speaker be used with wimpy single-ended amplifiers,..."

But I think you've got that end covered, oldguy! The Silverados oughta be able to ride herd over those doggies with no muss / no fuss.

How would you describe the sound?

Great speakers and a steal at current used prices.

Just check them out completely before buying. Tho 10T's had a propensity for developing cracks in the head units and sometimes the body.

Thanks VagasDave........

I may end up keeping my 802D....if I don't end up with a buyer.
If that's the case I'll end up with two systems...Which is fine because
I'm not really pleased about selling my Bryston amps...Because yes they are
that good.
I would put the Silverado's on the 802 and the maybe even use four 7B's on the
Aerials.So both speakers end up with about the same amount of wattage.

vegasdave · « **Reply #677 on:** 14 Aug 2011, 04:34 am »

Yeah, try the 28Bs on the 802s! They love power!

1oldguy · « **Reply #678 on:** 15 Aug 2011, 12:48 am »

Well if all goes well I will secure the Aerials tomorrow.
For old school music I've come to the conclusion that
bigger woofers really helps in the regard.
At any rate I'm happy with the Aerials.....They really are Giant Killers.
