Tyler Linbrook Sig System, Short review
Ideally these speakers need some space. Agree? Yes, I do. That said, I am using mine in a room smaller than yours, so it should not be a problem for either version, IMO.---Dave 
Tyler Linbrook Sig System, Short review
I believe the bottom of the 2 piece ends up with a larger internal area if I remember correctly. It is a very deep cabinet that is rear ported, so be careful if you go that direction as to make sure you have some space behind the speaker. If you d... 
Tyler Linbrook Sig System, Short review
Glad to hear you liked the Linbrook Signature System Paul (as I own it). I also am glad you have now heard some Tyler speakers so you have some data to draw your comparisons from when comparing them to other speakers on the market. :-)Regards,---Dave 
Amp & CD for Tyler Acoustic Lynbrook System 2
Their Class A amps are best, but all of them mate well with Tylers. Even their amps manufactured for Legacy Audio work well (and can be had for a lot less money). The Legacy amps are really Coda Continuum amps biased for Legacy speakers.---Dave 
Amp & CD for Tyler Acoustic Lynbrook System 2
Coda is the brand I have found meshed best with my Tylers for amplification. Couple that with a nice quality CD player like a Consonance Droplet (or even their lower line CD players like the CD-120 I use) and the fit is quite nice, IMO.---Dave 
B&W, Dynaudio, Dali or what else?
>>One thing I want to add is that my 800's sounded kind of edgy and analytical for the first 100-200 hours of playing. Maybe the MS 5's you've listened to were brand new out of the box (my guess). This is sometimes the issue with demoes. The... 
B&W, Dynaudio, Dali or what else?
It was a year and a half ago, so I don't know how well my memory can be trusted with the details (as I was on vacation in AZ when I heard both and did not take notes)...But with that said... I remember listening first to a pair of McIntosh XT-28s ... 
B&W, Dynaudio, Dali or what else?
I like your Dalis a lot, and easily preferred them over the 802Ds... That said, I also preferred them over the more expensive MS5s you are looking at too... So my tastes may be different than yours.In the MS5s price range, I would take a look at t... 
Need small speaker for less than $750. Ideas?
Definitely the Spendors would be a good way to go IMO. A couple others you may also wish to consider are the Opera Audio Consonance Eric-1s and the GMA Europas.---Dave 
Loudspeakers that go LOUD?
Add me to the "change amps" camp. I think you will find that if you feed the Linbrooks at least 100 quality watts, you will be in good shape. Coda class A solid state amps are excellent matches with the Linbrooks as an example, but many others bra... 
Subwoofer help: ACI, Von Schweikert, Martin Logan
ACI makes extremely good subs. My ACI Titan meshed very well for music listening using my Taylo Reference Monitors when they were used as my mains. It has a lot of flexability and the ACI driver is quite good.I confess I also am a fan of the ML su... 
VSA VR4 SR or JR as a match to my system and room
I confess the 4JRs actually impressed me much more than the more expensive 4SRs when I heard them in the same room, on the same electronics a couple months ago. The 4SRs also did not impress me in show conditions when I heard them at the 2005 THE ... 
speaker recomendation
Definitely the Tylers at your price point would be the solution I would recommend based on what you are looking for (and outright performance to my ears at that price point).---Dave 
Advice about warm, gentle speakers...
I hope you did not misinterpret my post as an attack on your analysis Jerry... That definitely was not my intent. My point was that a Denon/Tyler combo may not give the results the OP is looking for, as the Tylers will reveal the character of the ... 
Advice about warm, gentle speakers...
They are warmer, but they aren't more forgiving IMO. I have tried my various Tylers on several pieces of electronics at various price points and manufacturers... Each time the speakers revealed differences in the electronics feeding them to my ear...
