Full-range Floorstanders: Can you recommend?
I heard the Legacy Focus at a audio club meeting in New Orleans at Alterman Audio in Metairie, I'll second AA's trashing of one of one of my worst sounding speakers ever. I guess you are new here, please add Tyler's line to your list.Paul 
Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim)
Hate is my vote as well. My JOR has black wood sideing, an exception. But these pres/small intergrated tube amps with wood trim gives me a impression of cheap/gimick. 
Why so many amplifiers for sale?
Yeah, makes no sense all the amps for sale. If they are such a good deal, they would sell in a day or 2, and so you would have half the # of amps listed at any one time. Even when I get a second amp, my JOR will not be given away at $1300, its wor... 
Full Range Speakers for a Small Listening Room
What Thiel might end of doing is comming out with a "new and improved" line. Tell me how we've come to identify the name Thiel with "superior musical image" over the yrs. Of speakers with big names that I've heard, Mirage, Talon/Khorus, Legacy/Whi...

Need a review of Tyler's Ref 3's,
Ty's MTM's like the Thor are called Taylo 7U's. The shortie is called Linbrook Sig Monitors, which is the Seas's Odin design. His MTM with dual 8's/one cabinet is called SIGNATURE SYSTEM. 
Need a review of Tyler's Ref 3's,
Thanks New, you are bringing things into clearer focus. I was thinking along those lines, that the Ref3/W26 may not be as seemless as i would like. IOW the...first lets get the speaker names right. Linbrook Sig which I believe is a MTM with added ... 
Will increasing size of amp improve sound quality?
As a previous owner of several Rotel amps, the answer is NO. Move onto something else. I also agree with Drr, upgrade your speakers one day. Read the speaker topics for ideas. 
Need a review of Tyler's Ref 3's,
Thanks, very helpful info. I'm wondering at what point Ty has the W22 crossed at and the W26. I may do better with the Ref3 in the long run, smoother/tighter/deeper controlled bass from the W26 vs the W22.Agree?

Need a review of Tyler's Ref 3's,
Thanks. Honestly i've not heard a 3 way that i liked, 30 yrs experience. However the Tyler 3 way does not use a midrange, but uses the W17 as a midwoofer. A driver i love the character of. But thinking things over this afternoon looking at Tyler's... 
Your best picks for 2006 Best Speakers under 4K.
Well thats because most speakers under 4K do not have a 10 inch woofer. So I figure for any speaker to go as low as 35, there should be a 10 inch woofer in the box. Correct? Or can you show me a 8 inch woofer that can go as low as 35 hz, yet with ... 
Your best picks for 2006 Best Speakers under 4K.
Tvad I would expect if someone is paying 3 or 4K for a speaker, it should be go as low as 30 hz. I wanted to keep the price reasonable, at 4K. But then 30 hz's would be any driver at 10 inches. A 8 inch woofer I do not believe will go to 30. Any s...

Tube amps are like ss amps, there are a few goods uns among the bunch. I did not like CJ nor ARC's, nor Rogue's
