Tyler Acoustics upgrade

I’ve had my Tyler Taylo monitors for quite a while, and after upgrading my amp recently from a Cambridge 640A to a Rogue Sphinx 3, I am getting much more out of the speakers, but I would ultimately like to get more of the lower frequencies that the Taylo’s just can’t hit.  I tried some other companies but feel I want to keep the Tyler/Rogue sound, so would like to look at some of their bigger models, specifically the Linbrook monitors or System 2 floorstander.  The monitor seems easier to track down these days but I am wondering how much difference I would hear between the monitor reaching down to 35 and the system 2 going to 32. If it matters, my room is 11x22.  Thanks for any thoughts!

The Tyler Acoustic Taylo speakers use the Seas Magnesium woofers with a high resolution Scanspeak tweeter.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tyler madea  wise choice, by chosing the Scanspeak tweeter over the Seas Millennium,
I sold off my Seas Millennium's, as the db sens was wayyyy too low, at 87, 
Tweets absolute MUST BE, NO EXCEPTIONS to this Golden Rule, 91db, plus /minus 1 db. 
I tested the Seas Crescendo tweet, won 1 off eaby,,, its maybe at most 82db, site says 92,,will ship to Madisound for testing. 
If its not broken = its a  dud. Not sure why seas would lie. But they did in fact LIE.

Stay with your speaker as is.
The only thing you could do, and should do. is swap out the cheap caps in the xover and install, Mundorf SESGO (IF you can afford it) or lower priced Supreme Silvers.]
You will note significant slam in bass anda  slight nuance on the tweets. 
The Excel midwoofers are IMHO the finest mids in production.  Although db is a bit low, 
I have the Seas Thor minus the Millennium, so basically just the dual W18E001's per side
If you have the EX's, = better than the E version.
Also port the front, = better bass.

Oh for sure, the Linbrooks, are increcible.
I think Ty uses the Millennium, which i did not care for. 
Here is my latest mod to the Thor Dual W18E001 cabinet.
I have alotttt more bass now, vs DAppolito's transmission idea. 
One Bass cab was not hooked up in this video.
I forgot to connect.
But trust me, now ported in front,,WOW factor high.
These W18E001's offer rock solid bass = no sub neeeded.

WOW , has the W22.  BASS Slam
Swap out the caps to Mundorf SESGO or Supreme Silver 
Port the front. 
Dump the Millennium for either a  Seas T35 or Scanspeak high resolution as per other Ty design/Taylo.

The Millennium is 87db, = junk. Garbage.
