Has Anyone Heard Aerial Acoustics Model 7T with Luxman LX-380?

Aerial Acoustics Model 7T, 89 db efficient with 4 ohm impedance, 3 ohms minimum, low reactance. Luxman LX-380 tube based with 14 watts/channel into 4 ohms. Has anyone experienced this pairing? Does the Luxman have the chops to drive these speakers? Are there any real world users with experience with this pairing?

Pretty unlikely pairing unless you listen under 75 db all the time then might be ok. My understanding is the Aerial speakers are not tube friendly either but I haven’t experienced for myself.

Have the Luxman CL38U se tube preamp but I'm using a Bryston 3B Cube to power my 5T's. Aerials like solid state amps. Besides Bryston Michael Kelly's favorite amps for his speakers are class D Gato power amps.

This sounds like a good application of the Atma-Sphere class D amp.
