Ref. 3a , GMA & Tyler compare ?

Based on my last thread , I am taking your advise and looking for a monitor speaker for my small (10 X 11 ft.) room . The Ref 3a De Capo i, GMA Calisto and Tyler Linbrook Signature monitors have come up in my searches the most . I would like to know their different characteristics .
I will be using them in the nearfield , sometimes at low listening levels , sometimes at high levels and for long periods of time with various types of music . I would like the versatility of being able to use tubes or SS amps. It would be great if these could grow with my system as it matures and evolves .
All of you have been very helpful in the past and I am quite thankful .

Thank you .

This is great guys , thank you .
I will be able to audition the De Capo's , hopefully this weekend . But the others will have to be decided here , probably as compared to the De Capo's .

Bombaywalla ; I feel your pain . It can be rather difficult to get a feel for something with just words .

Ruebent ; That is interesting . I would've thought that the Tyler's would be a tough act to beat due to the components used . I guess implementation is what counts . What size is your room and how close to the speakers are you sitting ? Do they have body and presence at low listening levels ?

Heli_dog ; Good link , thank you .

Chadlinz ; That is an interesting question , I will try to ask the manufacturer .

Drseid ; what components accompanied the Callisto's in the demo that you heard ? Did the other auditioner buy the Callisto's ?

Thanks people , keep them coming .
