Speaker upgrade if you liked Tyler then there are these: T2 Floorstanders – tyleracoustics.com which are supposed to be (by some margin) the best speakers that Tyler had produced to date. Dannie Ritchie and GR Research had a major hand in them. | |
Spatial X5 speakers There appears to have been a major culling of models at Spatial, leaving just two currently available, the M4 and the X4, both in their "Ultra" version, whatever that denotes. Part of it may be parts availability, and I suppose also possibly cust... | |
