| Tyler Acoustics is genius. I'm always amazed and impressed at the lengths Ty will go to help satisfy a customer's needs, backed by a healthy dose of commonsense. I've been using a 2-box Linbrook system for over 3 years and needed something smaller (due to a new but smaller ... | |
| Need a review of Tyler's Ref 3's, Just the Linbrook Sig Monitors by themselves are very good, displaying greater articulation and detail than my Norh Mini-9 speakers which use SS Revelator midbass and 9800 tweeter. However, I found that adding the bass modules gives greater image ... | |
| Tyler Accoustics....a true pleasure to deal with.. Aktchi, thanks for the positive vote but don't you think big Linbrooks playing Baby Mozart is a wee bit overkill? ;) Besides the bass modules don't sound very good when pushed into corners. The drawbacks of living in small spaces...sigh! | |
| Tyler Accoustics....a true pleasure to deal with.. I can only echo the top notch experiences I've read here. Ty is simply the most approachable, friendly, responsive and helpful audio vendor I've ever had the pleasure to deal with. My Linbrook system was bought used but Ty treated me wonderfully w... | |
| Krell KAV-400xi, how good is it? I recently auditioned the 400xi driving Vivid Audio K1 speakers with a Meridian G08 cd player. Although detail, tonality and pace was good, the sound seemed boxy, stuck in the speakers and did not throw a convincing soundstage. Your separates may ... | |
| Undecided on Amp to drive Sonus Faber GPH package Just auditioned SF GPH driven by all Opera Audio Consonance electronics consisting of Cyber 300B PSE monoblocks, Reference 2.2 pre-amp and Reference Cd 2.2. Detailed, delicate and fatigue free sound with a convincing soundstage and impressive musi... | |
| Anyone: Wilson X1Grand Slamm/ Lamm ML2's I heard the Alexandria X2 driven by a 22wpc Audio Note Ongaku a couple of months ago. The mids were good but the overall sound lacked dynamics and jump factor. I guess the AN was probably struggling to control the 15" bass drivers. I auditioned th... | |
| Tyler Acoustics & Quad I own a Linbrook Signature System w/bass modules in natural Cherry. In every aspect of sound quality, they are in a totally different league from any cone and dome Quad speaker.Like Cdc2, I couldn't actually tell you how the Linbrooks sound like b... | |
| Avalon vs Kharma I haven't heard Kharmas but I've auditioned the massive Avalon Sentinel with Rowland amps and the Lumenwhite Whiteflame speakers with Ayre electronics at the respective dealers. Both these speakers use Accuton drivers. To me, the Lumenwhites were ... | |
| Comments please: ARC LS 25 mk 2 vs. Ref 2 mk 1 With the Ref2 MkII you can tube roll the rectifier (5AR4) and power regulator (6L6GC) tube. I haven't tried swapping tubes on my unit yet as the stock tubes sound quite good. I also don't find the Ref2 MkII "bright" per se but it is quite precise ... | |
| Speaker make "pop" noise when pre amp turn off Strange. I own an ARC Ref2 MkII but I only hear the 'pop' on the left channel when I turn off the preamp while the amp is on. Not a sound when switching to mute on the preamp. To avoid any kind of pop, I either use the mute switch on my Rowland 8T... | |
| Audioquest Dialectric-Bias System Actually, I use the Kilimanjaro which is the cable before Everest. It's a silver cable and smaller than the Volcano or Everest. Very open sounding and no problems with highs at all. | |
| tyler acoustic Taylo 7U/Linbrook Floorstanders I didn't know that the impedance of the Linbrook bass modules can drop below 2 ohms! I was under the impression that the whole Linbrook system was a 4 ohm nominal design. No wonder my Mesa Baron tube amp (120wpc) sounded slightly breathless with t... | |
| Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ? I believe the Jeff Rowland Model 8T and other iterations including the 9T should also do a good job with Apogees - 50A continuous, 100A peak. Not cheap but they do the job. | |
| Which speakers do you like in the $5K price range? I'll chip in and say that a full Tyler Acoustics Linbrook system (with bass modules) would be well worth checking out. I drive my pair with a Rowland 8T amp to good effect. Unfatiguing, transparent, musical and full range (25Hz-25Khz) with excelle... |
