Haven't heard the Windmere, but the word on it says very full speaker and slightly warm (I owned the Linbrooks, which was smaller but similar sonically). With that said, the new Tyler Decade line is a big step up in terms of detail and soundstage, without the warm overglow, but still extremely musical. If you can get the Windmere at the right price, I would check it out; otherwise, hold out for a pair of Decades: they are going to please a whole lot of people.
