Tyler Acoustics upgrade
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. |
Thanks for thoughts so far, I did speak with Ty and he had thoughts on some of his newer models, but for my budget, the two Linbrooks would probably work best for what I often see them go for used, so that was why I was wondering in my space how much difference I might hear between a speaker rated down to 35 hz and one rated to 32hz. As for sub or subs instead, I do have a rythmik f12 but I’ll admit since replacing the Cambridge amp with the rogue, I didn’t hear much difference in bass and actually disconnected it as I wondered if sub integration wasn’t feasible in my space and I needed to go with a full range instead. I will admit I only really adjusted volume and crossover while setting up (not really experienced with other aspects and don’t have rca cables long enough to experiment too much with sub placement in room, have it a few feet from amp). Not sure about the idea of 3 or 4 subs, but might consider adding one more if I could get same acoustic results with stereo subs vs whole new pair of speakers. Thanks for feedback! |
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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57JLhOnjqck |
