I'm looking for thoughts on the Tyler Acoustics...


Linbrook System II's. I currently own Soliloquy 6.2's and I am looking for a speaker with a more extended top end and some extra punch in the bottom registers. My current equipment is a Sonic Frontiers Power II SE, Sonic Frontiers Line 1 SE and a Krell SACD Standard. I listen to just about everything with an emphasis on Jazz, blues and Classic rock. For those of you who have heard these speakers, how would you describe their sound? I am looking for a little more detail then what my current speakers are offering. Thanks for any help.

If your looking for similar size and price range to the Soliloquy 6.2 then the Linbrook system II or or Tyler 7U would probably be the best options.

The Linbrook, Tyler and Woodmere all use the SEAS Magnesium for the bass and midrange. Where the Linbrook and Tyler basically differ is in the tweeter. Linbrooks use the SEAS Mellennuim and the Tyler line uses the Scanspeak 9900 Revelator except the minimonitors which use the 9500.

In Ty's opinion the Scanspeak is more extended and smoother, but the SEAS sounds more natural. You can choose either tweeter for the Tyler or Linbrooks.

Since you mentioned more extension and Bass punch being primary goals the Tylers sound just like what you are looking for.

For owner reviews go to Audioreview.com. For professional reviews go to Ecoustics.com and do a word search. Should find all the info you need there.

Agreed give Ty a call. I've spoken with him a couple of times over the phone. Will take all the time in the world to answer your questions with zero pressure to buy

Great choice in finish! Those should look gorgous and have the performance to match. Make sure to give them a couple of hundred hours of burn in time. The Seas drivers in the System II will take some time to sound their best.
