I've run these speaker with the VTL Tiny Triodes and they loved them. This is a very bright speaker and the VTL gear mellows them.
Aerius i and VTL IT 85
I currently own a pair of ML Aerius i, and am driving them with an NAD 340C. I really invested in the speakers ($2500), and skimped on my integrated amp (I think it was $350 at the time), thinking I would upgrade later.
Well, later has arrived, and I went in to audition replacements for my NAD. It came down to an Ayre AX-7 integrated SS amp, or the VTL IT 85. I liked both, but the VTL honestly sounded so much more exciting to me. I really only have $2500 to spend on the amp, so I can't go any higher.
Does anyone have any experience driving ML Aerius i with relatively low power tube amps? I think the VTL is rated at 80 wpc. I have a real small apartment; only 515 square ft. total!
Thanks for any help....
