Tyler Woodmere II: any advices?

I am thinking about jumping the gun on one of these thinking these could be my "ultimate speakers" (cannot justfy more than $10k on speakers ever) but need to hear from owners of that very model what their experience and recommendations would be in terms of amplification (qualifty, quantity), room, and set up in general. My room will be fairly large 25*15*9 open on one side to about same room.

HI Kanuk, depending on where you are located, Tyler might be able to put you in touch with a Woodmere II owner near you, so you can see/hear them yourself.

Use the money you have budgeted to buy the used B&W or Thiel. With your room deminsions either should work well.

Aktchi's advice is very good. Before committing to some very large speakers, it would be wise to see and listen to them. I heard these at RMAF 2007 and thought they sounded good but I was not blown away. They were gorgeous in the Zebrawood and I like the proportions and layout of the speaker. Build quality appeared top notch. I would contact Ty at Tyler and ask him if there is a "house sound" to the lineup. I would then try to demo any Tyler speaker locally or purchase one of the pre-owned Tylers I often see on the 'Gon. Ty has a generous trade in policy so you have little to lose by moving up the line.

My advice is keep looking. I tend to favor very high -efficiency speakers with interesting technology or a very good pedigree. Your current line of inquiry will lead you to neither.
