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!

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.

So the Gentleman (Ed) that I bought my Kinki EX-M1 from has been in the game for quite awhile.  He’s had, and still has, some very nice gear.  He’s friends with Fritz, Ty, Jim just to name a few.

So anyhow, Ed and I were talking the other night and he mentioned having those Linbrook 2’s and that he wished he never got rid of them.  He currently has some larger Tyler Acoustics, some Zu’s and some LS50’s, but he’s had a ton of nice equipment through his home.  Tyler was actually just dropping off speakers at his house so he has tried a bunch of Ty’s stuff.

Long story short, it sounds like the System 2’s (didn’t even know thats what they were called) are a real gem and possibly one of the best that Ty made.
