Tyler Acoustics: Taylo Ref III vs. Linbrook Sig's


Ok, I'm trying to decide between the Taylo Referece III and the Linbrook Signature System. What are +/- on each of these. I like detailed highs and midrange slam (coming from Dynaudio's), so would like to know how these compare.

I absolutely do NOT want blotted bass, but very controlled bass and smooth highs. I've read lots of reviews from audioreview, but would like more personal reviews from those here.

I really like a large soundstage that is why I'm looking at these. I've gone through B&W N804, Paradigm Studio 40v3, and Dynaudio's this year alone.....would like to end the search for awhile with the Tyler's.

Also, how do the grills attached? Surely, that is not velcro I'm seeing on the monitors or is it?

Thanks,

I agree with Vladimir on the velcro, much better than holes in the speakers! If you don't like the velcro you can peel them off and be done with it.
I have not owned the Linbrooks but have had the Ref II and now the Ref III and will NOT be looking to upgrade anytime soon.... Happy Listening!
Ttowntony, I thought the Linbrooks were rear ported, if they are placement may not be good only having them a foot out from the back wall.. Your gonna need them out 4 to 5 feet if you want them to sing!
In my room I have the Ref III which are front ported and they are 5 feet out into the room and 4 feet from the side walls and they SING!! no regrets at all. Ty builds first class speakers and uses all top notch components. Give him a call as he can give you the best info.
The Linbrook four piece is a rear ported and the two piece is a front ported! Check there web site out... If the placement is going to be only a foot off the back wall you may consider the two piece as it's a front ported speaker.
