Tyler House Sound


I recently purchased my first set of Tyler speakers. They are a custom pair of F2 2 way speakers that were made into floorstanders. I've heard good things about Tyler speakers so I was pleased when these came up on Audiogon.

Do all Tyler speakers have a "house sound". My impressions are a very transparent, clear, detailed, upfront sounding but not aggressive, large soundstage. Are similar to my old Thiel .5's without the "bite", must be the Kentucky air.

Are there certain electronics or cabling that go well with these speakers. If I could I'd like to soften them a wee bit. Do they like tubes? I'm running a NAD CDP,Signal cables and an Aragon 4004 mkII.

Thanks - Jack

Oh yeah, the cabinets are insane!

Yes, in my opinion, they will have a "house sound" because of the similar drivers used.
The Seas drivers are a rather "dry" sounding devices, and will greatly benefit from tubes or at least a hybrid Tube/Mosfet type amp.
These Seas drivers are very high quality drivers, and in all fairness to Tyler Acoustics, any speaker using these drivers will sound its best with Tubes.
They are very revealing.
