what amp will match well with Tyler acoustics
I own the Linbrook Signature Series. Yes, they are a bit smaller but I have the following combo- preamp is Audio Horizons and two Classe CA-150's. I bi-wire my speakers and have had custom brass footers made. The tube pre and solid state amps make... 
Tube amp to drive Tyler Decade D1's?
My response to the question is a bit different. I own the Signature Speakers from Ty. My setup is the Audio Horizons 2.1 fully tricked out and two Classe CA-150's with a Audio Research CD-3 MkII as the source. I am extremely pleased with the music... 
Power Conditioner Assistance
I failed to mention in my earlier post that the Transcendent Audio Power Conditioner retails at $650 assembled. I did the kit and I am not the greatest kit builder. The item comes up on Audiogon but they go fast. Hope this helps. Steve 
Power Conditioner Assistance
My choice for a power conditioner after trying many was from Transcendent by Bruce. Go to his website and check out the unit. It is available in kit form or completed. It made a major change since the power in my area is very dirty. The best part ... 
ARC CD3mk2
I own the same player and I am considering the CD5. I am going to audition them both in a few weeks side by side. For the audition I am including some Classe players to compare. I currently own Audio Research CD3mkII, Audio Horizons Pre, two CA-15... 
Speaker Bass
I thank everyone for their suggestions. I am going to try two methods. One is to try to isolate the speakers and the other to have the spikes turned to a finer point. Again thanks, Steve 
Source for good 10/3 or 10/4 Home wiring cable?
I would also consider balancing your main breaker panel. Another consideration is the age of the main breaker panel. New ones have better connections and provide better conductivity. I live among historical homes and this seems to be a problem wit... 
Horror story turned into a happy ending
I purchased a pair of cherry Signature Speakers from a fellow Audiogoner that he bought from Ty. FedEx delivered one speaker and it worked flawlessly. The next day the second one arrived and it had a dent on the base plinth and the woofers did not... 
Preamp help.
Gandme, I have owned a very nice CJ and found it worked well with my Classe CA-150's and Tyler Signature Series Speakers. My CD player is a Audio Research CD3. I swapped out the CJ for the Audio Horizons with the all the bells and whistles. I did ... 
Amp for Aerial 10T
I had the Aerial 8's which are quite similar to the 10's. I used two Classe CA-150's to power them. The bass was tight and the highs were there as they should be. The Aerial's love power. They just sing when properly powered. Hope this helps. Steve 
Amp Confusion
Sorry for the delay in responding. Have kayaking all day and just got on line. My musical interests are in full orchestral works. The power of solid state to my ears allows the reserve for the range associated with the low organ to the mezzo sopra... 
Amp Confusion
My system consists of the Tyler Signature Series. The pre is an Audio Horizons by Joseph Chow which is fed by a Audio Research CD-3. The amps are Classe CA-150's which are biamp mode. Yes, I realize that the new Decade 2's are an improvement but I... 
Classe' Preamp comparisons
I have owned the CP-35,CP-50 and CJ-14 II and now own an Audio Horizons for preamps. I have two CA-150's as monoblocks and started with one. My speakers were Aerial 8's. The combo of CP-50, CA-150's with the Aerials worked very well. I listen to m... 
Solid State Preamp recommendation for $2500?
I am using Tyler Acoustics with two Classe CA-150's as monoblocks with a preamp from Audio Horizons. I had a Classe CP-50, then a CJ 14LS-II which improved the overall sound. Then I upgraded my CD player and was unhappy. I now am quite happy with ... 
Review: Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Signature Speaker
Jimmy, Thanks for the review. I owned Aerial 8's and loved them. However, as we all do I wanted a bit more. I read reviews of the Tyler Linbrook Signature Series and thought them a good match. The Tyler's arrived from an owner so they are used but...
