Tyler Acoustics & Quad

I own a Linbrook Signature System w/bass modules in natural Cherry. In every aspect of sound quality, they are in a totally different league from any cone and dome Quad speaker.

Like Cdc2, I couldn't actually tell you how the Linbrooks sound like but the Seas Excel magnesium cones are very revealing of electronics/wire/power cords/tweaks. They aren't too forgiving of poor sources or equipment either. I usually drive the Linbrooks with my ARC REF2 MkII pre / Rowland 8T amp combo.

With a friend's Meridian 588 cdp, the sound was outstanding and very musical. But with my current Cary 303/200, the sound is sterile and cold. I recently hooked up a $250 JVC RX-ES1 digital receiver and to my great surprise, I'm enjoying music again, despite the Cary!

Btw, Ty is a wonderful person to deal with. Goes above and beyond the call of duty to help his customers.

Linbrook , dual 8 inch seas + dual 7 inch seas + Millinium tweet. Very nice, but more that my 15 X 20 room can handle, besides out my budget. . The Signature is prefered vs their 7U's, the 7U is a MTM with the Scan speak tweet, the Signature has the Millinium tweet.
I have a pr of Thor's which is the Tyler Signature MTM, W18 + Millinium + W18, but quite possibly slightly different xover, although Ty does say they use the D' Apollito design. I bought the Madisound model with the upgrade xover.
I'm very happy with these speakers. I'm running them with a little Jadis Orch Refer, which I use with tone controls all the way up. These speakers need some power to reveal the dynamics. So I plan toget a Jadis DA60 in 2 yrs.
Here's my evaluation of the Seas' drivers compared to at least 50 different speakers I've heard in the past 20 yrs.
Bass, superior, mids, superior, highs, superiot.
And that ain't no hype.

Thanks for the responses. Out of the speakers I have auditioned I really liked the Totem Forest and Hawk (I also loved the Martin Logan Aeon i...but I needed a sub with them which put them out of my price range). How would the Linbrook Floorstanding Monitor compare with the Totems. They will be driven by a Musical Fidelity A3.2 Integrated. I listen to most types of music- but mostly rock, blues, jazz and rap. The room is 12' x 22' x 8'.

Also, has anyone listened to Tyler Acoustics Freedom line?

Curious why you are considering the Linbrook series and the Freedom series and not the Taylo series?

Tyler from highest performance to lowest is

Woodmere
Linbrook
Taylo
Freedom

Should be a vast difference in performance between the Linbrook and budget Freedom series.

Maxxc,

I want tower speakers and cannot afford the Taylo 7U or Ref. III (the Ref 3's would be my ideal). I asked about the freedom line because the F-4's look interesting.
