Tyler acoustics questions


I am zeroing in on either the Tylo monitor or the Linbrook sigs & would like to know what folks found to be the dfference in the midrange.I have a sub but if I bought the Taylos (save a thousand) what would you have to statr your sub at to run in parallel i.e I would use the preout on my RA Tempest II. I prefer to set my sub for music set at the lowest 50 Hz which seems to match it best with the quicker 6-7 inch driver with most monitor speakers .Do the Taylos do a honest 50 Hz in which case it is no doubt the better choice especially since my tube amp produces way more watts into 8 ohms than the 4 ohm sigs.(probably a better match)

The other issue is the tweeter .I see most folks lprefer the millenium a little more however I am looking for the smoothest one in the upper mids with the best rendering of siblance. My sense is the Scanspeak may be a little smoother & less peaky with a tad less presence in this area.Comments?

Thanks

I have not heard the two speakers next to each other for several years, but what I remember is that while the midrange quality and timbre was mainly similar for the two (same drivers), the Linnbrook had more bloom and fullness - this could be because of the lower FR perhaps, not to mention dual speakers.
I would suspect a 50 Hz crossover point would be OK for the Taylo, though hard to tell without knowing how far you would put the speakers into the room, room size, crossover slope, etc etc. I do know that the 'posted spec' on the Linbrooks is very accurate in my experience and measuring - perhaps the Taylo is as well.
As for tweeters, what you are describing is the SEAS not the Scanspeak - the millenium is the smoother tweeter.
Last, as everyone always says, ask Ty - he knows his product better than us and is always helpful.
