Aerial 10T and Aerial 9

For any Aerial fans out there I have a question. Firstly, let me say I am a big fan of Aerials, every time I have heard them they have really impressed me.

So, is a 6 year old model 9 definitively better than a 10T? I know where some second hand models are available and I plan to listen to each. The 9's are approximately 2.5x the price of the 10Ts. I plan to let my own ears be my guide but I am curious what the audiogon community has to say.

What price is fair for each speaker assuming good condition?

thanks in advance for responses!

Bought my 10T's new about 11 years ago. Thought about upgrading several times but could never justify it. Get the set up and amplification right and you have a speaker that will give you champaign performance for a beer budget.

Never tried the 9's but I find it hard to beleive they are 2.5 times better than the 10T's. $2500-3500 should get you a decent pair. Hold out for the last gen Sound Anchor stands. Good luck.

The 10T is an incredible bargain at it's current used price. They were made for about 10 years, and some significant changes were made without changing the model number, make sure which version you are getting.

Thanks for the responses. I am not sure which version yet but the price is right in the range for the 10Ts. I am indeed trying to do Champagne on a beer budget. I think the 10T will probably be my choice, but I suppose the asking price for the 9s is actually around $4.5k. So the price differential is less than 2x. But still, the difference between them is quite significant.
