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,

Ttowntony, FWIW I've a pair of the Signature Systems (1 piece) in route. My room is of a similar size to yours and I am presently using dynamic speakers with about the same frequency response as the Linbrooks. Mine fire down the length of the room and I have them close to the side walls and toed in so the axis of the speakers crosses in front of me - that way I have no 1st reflection issues from the side walls. My speakers are front ported but I'm still unable to get them much closer to the back wall than 3 feet (from the rear of the speaker) without elevating the bass too much. I'm assuming that the bass of the Sig system will be much the same.

You might want to consider the Linbrook stand mounted which might benefit a bit from rear wall reinforcement.
