Fritz Carbon 7 vs. Tyler Linbrook Sig. Monitor

I am looking for a pair of sub $2k smaller speakers for short-term usage (6 months) until I move into a larger house.

The Fritz Carbon 7's and Tyler Linbrook Signature monitors (used) are on my list.

Can someone please describe differences in the "house sound" between these two? I have never had the chance to listen to either.

My room is around 20 x14 and will have limited acoustic treatments available.

Associated equipment is analog:

VPI HRX, 12.5 arm with Miyajima Kansui cartridge, Herron VTPH2 and retubed and highly modified Cary SLI-80.

Have not heard the Tyler's, but the description of the Carbon's as "full (for a monitor), warm, and easy to listen to" sounds right. Very nice speakers for the $ (and for considerably more), and Fritz is a good guy.

You might also add Selah's flagship 2 way monitor (Verita?) to your list. Excellent, IMO, and Rick Craig is another one of the good guys.

Does it mean the Carbon 7 could be considered too polite or "boring" sounding by some people?

I did not mean to insinuate boring at all, jdec. As Kclone suggests, I meant musical and non-fatiguing. I'm very sensitive to edgy highs (meaning I find a good many "detailed" speakers a lot of people like to be ear-bleeders), but I didn't get this from the Carbons. A lot of pleasure for the dollar, based on what I heard. (Ditto the Selahs.)
