Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Signature Monitors?


Hi all!

Would any of you happen to own a pair of Tyler Linbrook Signature Monitors? How do you like them?

Have you owned them in the past and have moved on to something else? Why?

Do they excel in certain types of music? Which one(s)?

I've had mine for 5 years, and along the line added the bass modules to make it the linbrook 'system' (two piece). I still often just use the monitors, depending on space. Since there's really a ton of comments on these on AGon, I'll just say the following to give you my comparative impressions. First, before I got the Tyler's I changed speakers about once a year. (But now it's been 5 years). I had B&W Matrix 802s, Aerial model 6, PSB stratus goldi, and a few others, and the Tylers improved on all of these greatly. Since then, I have casually looked for other speakers possibly to replace them, mostly in dealer demos, and usually left scraping my head that some of them (especially the more expensive, like WA Sophia and Focal 1027) didn't give me any more than I already had, and some less. I also had Harbeths in my room (I wrote a post on these two), and still overall preferred the Tyler. So after 5 years I have not been able to find anything better, though I have not listened to some of the very expensive stuff. I thought the ML Summits were very nice comparatively. Overall, it's hard to find a speaker that can go very loud, has excellent treble, awesome midrange, and good bass for anywhere near the price. The monitors are VERY easy to place and work with just about any amp, and sound good with lesser electronics. The only thing that has me looking elsewhere is something smaller and possibly better looking. I listen mostly to classical, organ, and jazz.
Interesting - I always wanted to hear Silverine though never had the chance. But the Bolero's are pretty big compared to just the Linnbrook monitors, and even price-wise I think you're talking about the larger linbrook. Do you have the original Bolero or newer model(s)? I think the monitor, taken alone, especially at his used prices is hard to beat. If you are talking about a larger linbrook, I've found them hard to place to get the best balance of bass and midrange, whereas the monitors alone are fantastic closer to the wall then you can get them with the bass modules.
Newbee, I was just sticking to the monitors since that is what the poster asked for. But you are correct - I would like something for myself a bit smaller than the two piece system (which is even bigger than the one piece system). If and when I have the chance I wiill definitely check them out. Thanks for the tip.
