It’s been a long time - over 15 years. I had the Tyler Taylo Ref Monitors, twice. REALLY liked those. Sweet midrange, large soundstage, sparkling treble, good detail. Bass extension sucked, as to be expected for a monitor of that size - which affected some music more than others. All in all, a gem of a speaker and an amazing deal for the money. I wouldn’t mind still having those.
Then I tried Linbrook Signature Monitors, hoping to get the Taylo sound with better bass extension. That’s NOT what I got. The Linbrooks sounded muddy, awkward, and uninspiring by comparison. No trace of the Taylo’s lovely clarity. Such a disappointment. I think I tolerated them for like a week in my main system, and that was generous. I probably should have tried a Tyler floorstander. But those Linbrooks spelled the end of my Tyler Acoustics experiences.
Reading others’ Linbrook experiences doesn’t really match up with mine. So maybe those monitors were tuned differently - if it was an attempt to fill in the bass, it was misguided.
