Good morning everyone. Hope you all are well this fine day.
I received a pair of Tyler Timekeepers on Thursday of last week, got them hooked up on Friday and enjoyed a weekend taking a listen, making adjustments to position, drinking coffee etc..
Without reservation I am over the moon with them.
First the woodwork, fit and finish are beautiful. Mine are finished in Cherry. They have a soft and elegant yet solid appearance. They are swept back to some degree for time alignment. The top rear has an elegant curve to it. (I suspect helps with internal resonance and some rigidity). They are very solid and respond with a light thud when rapped. The grills are magnetic and look nice. (I prefer them removed both visually and musically)
They sound as beautiful as they look. Very musical, with plenty of detail. Not at all fatiguing. The sort of speaker that has me pulling out recordings I haven't listened to in a while. The highs are clear and sweet, mid is taught and dynamic. For a medium sized monitor there is decent mid-low end. (plenty of listening without my SVS sub). Male and female voice is perfect for me, as is horn and piano. Just effortless. The imaging and soundstage for me is the right combination of wide and realistic. I had to play with the position a bit to accomplish the depth, but when I got it right, I was thrilled.
If you are looking for a unique alternative to the regular suspects this is a no brainer. Price point is right in the mix, in fact I wager you get a lot for the money here. You can choose an amazing array of finishes for your taste. As a bonus Tyler is awesome to deal with. Never seemed to get tired of all my questions.
Live in NE Ohio, would not mind hosting folks considering these little gems.
