Review on the Tyler Acoustics Lynbrook Signature's

This Review Is For The Tyler Acoustics Lynbrook Signature Series 1 Piece System in the Ribbon Mahogany Finish.

After a 200+ hour break-in period I have to say that these are the most Transparent and Revealing Speakers that I have owned or Audition.These speakers sound good from the begining but after the 200+ break-in period they are nothing but Remarkable. They posses a Superb Transient Response and a Distinguished Low Bass Performance that is hard to find in other speakers. Delicate Highs with a Beautiful Midrage Detail and a Wide Soundstage.The Lynbrooks are one of the Most Complete Full Range High End Speakers you can find and at $5500.00 it is a Real bargain because in order to achive this kind of performance you will have to spend at least twice as much for Speakers.The High End "Seas" drivers used on these speakers are the same drivers used in much more expensive speakers as the Joseph Audio Pearl Speakers ( MSRP$20,000) or the Von Schwikert VR-5 (MSRP $25,000). Actually on my list of speakers that I was considering purchasing these two were on it along with the Dali Euphonia MS5, B&W 800D and the Legacy Audio Whispers. I auditioned all of these speakers but still was not as convinced in their sound/performance as and when I purchased the Tyler Lynbrook Signature Series. I am not in any way saying that the before mentioned speakers are not good speakers I am simply saying that I felt that they did not bring out the sound performance that I was looking for in a pair of High End speakers.As far as the Lynbrook Signature Series I just couldn't find anything negative to write about these wonderful speakers.They are so clear and detail that you can hear every instrument being played but with the delicacy that you want to spend hours listening to them.These Speakers Have a Deep,Open and Wide SoundStage. They are without a doubt a very Musical Appealing Speakers.I am spending hours going thru my 300+ CDs,SACDs,HDCDs,XRCD24s collection and it is like listening to them for the first time but with the emphasis,transparency and detail that I have not experience with any other speakers before. I am Very Please that I didn't have to spend twiced as much to get this kind of Sound/Performance and Built Quality. These Speakers are Gorgeous looking Speakers and The Ribbon Mahogany Finish is Beautiful and the Built Quality is Outstanding. My Advice is that if you are looking for a pair of Full Range High End Speakers Give these Speakers a try. You have 20 days to Audition them and if you are not satisfy you can return them to get you money back. I honestly doubt that you will return these Remarkable speakers because it will very hard to find this kind of performance and built quality at this price.
I will appreciate sharing your commnents or experiences with these speakers or any other Tyler Acoustic Speakers.
Hope this review is helpfull to others.

My Best Regards to All.

Hi Tvad.
If this is so as far as the comparison between drivers and price I do stand corrected. I was basing my review in what I was told at the many High End Audio Stores where I made my Auditions and where I was showing them the drivers used in the Tyler Lynbrook Signature Speakers and their VR-5 models. Actually I was told at these stores looking at the drivers used in the VR-5 that they were both the same exact drivers but again if this is not the case I stand corrected. The truth is that I spend a few hours listening to the VR-5's and although they are great speakers I just didnt feel satisfy with their sound. It could have been due to the fact of the equipment they were using and as well as the cables connected to these speakers. As you may know speakers have the tendency of sounding different from one system to another including using many different cables.
Again thanks so much for the correction on the drivers.

Best regards,
Carlos.

Thanks so much Drseid & Newbee for sharing your experiences about the Lynbrooks Signature Series. I also had the same experience with the upper-mid range. They did sound uneven and a bit dull but after the first 100 hours of break-in I started noticing a huge improvement. I decided to give it another 100 more hours before writing a review about them. These Speakers are here to stay for a long time since I feel that I have finally found the Sound and Performance that I have been looking for in a Truly High End Pair of Full Range Speakers. For those who will like to see the Lynbrooks in my System here is the link,

Hi Newbee,
Thanks for the advice on the placement of the Speakers. Actually I only had them place like that while the break-in period was taking place. Righ now they are around 10 inches away from the back wall, toed in and 10 feet apart. My Room is 14 feet wide by 20 feet long with an 8 foot ceiling. I tried different placements but I found out that the way they are right now gives me the best soundstage.Thanks so much for the tip. By the way how do you have yours set up?

Carlos.

Hi Steveott,

These Speakers Have a Very Deep and Well Defined Wide Soundstage.Perfect imaging, amazing clarity, large sound, good center image, transparent but tight and powerful bass.They have the ability to recreate the musical event in convincing fashion. Amazing Soundstage and seamless integration of sound through the entire audible spectrum. Warm, musical midrange, solid bass and smooth highs. Pinpoint imaging and soundstaging. As I have said before these are the most Dynamic,Clear,Detailed and Transparent Speakers I have come accross.

Bartokfan,
Thanks so much for your comments. I know you will be very happy with the Lynbrook SS when you get them. Please keep in touch and let me know of your experience when you get them. The Ribbon Mahogany Finish is Gorgous.
Good Luck.

My Best Regards,

Carlos.

Hi Bartokfan,
Everyone has a different definition of what "warms" means when it comes to sound. In my case when I mentioned that the mid's are warm I was refering to the fact that they are not bright and forward or mechanical sounding which is the case with some speakers. The sound coming from my LSS is neutral, Very Natural and has a nice warm sense to the music with a delicate and very detailed wide soundstage. The music is very well presented to you and not thrown at you as with some speakers. My definition of warm is when a speaker's sound tends to embrace you in such a way that you want to stay where you are listening for many hours. That's exactly the feeling that I get with the Lynbrook Signature Series. I honestly never got that feeling from other speakers that I have owned or Audition. Im not saying that there are not other speakers that can do exactly what the LSS do in my system but in the price range of these Lynbrook Signature series I strongly doubt that there is a speaker that can do the same. I love them every minute and the more I play them the better they sound. The Clarity and Detail combine with the the Beautiful low end extension and Wide Soundstage makes these speakers to be one of the most Musical Appealing Speakers out there!!!!

STltrains,
I agree with you 100% in your description of what you get from the Lynbrook SS of in terms of describing "warm". I get the same feeling and thus I spend many hours listening to these wonderful speakers.Actually today I had a few friends come over with their favorites Cds and we spent a few hours of critical listening and even my friends admitted to me that the Lynbrook Signature Series are the most "Revealing" speakers they have ever heard. One of them was so impressed by the realism of music that he wants to start saving money to purchase a pair ASAP.
Owners like Us attain to the many attributes of these speakers and therefore we love to write so much and let others know about our experiences with them.
Thank you Neweebe,Bartokfan,STltrains and all for your wonderful comments and experiences regarding these Remarkable Full Range Speakers and specially to Ty at Tyler Acoustics for making one of the Most Complete,Revealing,and Musical Appealing Speakers,
The Lynbrook Signature Series.

Regards to All,
Carlos.

Gooddomino,
You will have no problem driving the Lynbrooks SS or the ll's with your BAT VK-200. I own the Parasound Halo JC-1 Monoblocks which put out 800 watts @ 4ohms and the first 25 watts in pure Class A when used in High Bias and I don't think I use more than 15 watts at moderate volume levels so your amplifier will have no problem driving these speakers.
By the way, BAT are very good high end amps!

Good luck with the speakers! Please let us know how it goes with them,

Regards,
Carlos.
