I'm not sure if your thread is requesting information on other amp matches with Aerials, or whether you wanted further information about the ATIs with Aerials. I read one review that was favorable to the combination, but I have not heard ATIs with Aerials. I have heard Aerials with Classe, Levinson, Proceed, Bryston, and Rowland (which I own). Levinson (outside of the Rowland) was my favorite match with 10ts. Great bass control (Lev 336) and good mid-range. I'm sorry, but I've yet to hear the LR5s, but I assume, perhaps incorrectly but just the same, that the timbre/voice of the LR5s is similar to the 10ts. Best of luck.
Amp for Aerial speakers?
My current speakers are NHT SuperTwo's for the front and rear surrounds, with an NHT VT1C center, and Velodyne HGS-18 sub. I will be receiving an Aerial CC5 center channel speaker next week, and will then later (end of year) upgrade the front surrounds to Aerial LR5's, and the rears to Aerial SR3's. My preamp is a Lexicon MC-1, and my amps are two ATI 1506's that I'm running in bridged mode. I have the opportunity to purchase a new Theta Dreadnaught at a great price, and was wondering which amp would be a better match for the Aerials? I did hear the Aerials with the Dreadnaught at the dealer's showroom, and the combination sounded great, so much so that I went ahead and ordered the CC5. I haven't had the chance yet to hear it with the ATI amps though. Thanks for any input.
