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!

You'll like the Tylers; fast, clean, revealing, musical. Ty may appear a country boy but he has a great ear, and is smart about speaker voicing.

The F-2's will like the Aragon. With solid state amps, I like copper wires for all Tyler speakers I've heard. Discovery cables are first-class, and affordable.

If you had a good DAC, i.e., the Ack!, you could elevate substantially further still.
