| Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Signature Monitors? I really liked my llnbrook monitors, but the supertowers are much better. A bit taller and more expensive than the monitors + stands, but they actually have a smaller footprint, and are easier to drive at 8ohms (vs 4 for the monitors).Especially, ... | |
| Tyler Acoustic vs. Paradigm What are you guys using for amplification with the linbrooks? I've been using an aleph 30, but I think they need something with a little more punch. Has anyone paired them with a digital amp?BTW, I also own paradigm 40's (v2) and I've always liked... | |
| Need help putting together a bedroom system I like low power digital amps and efficient speakers for the bedroom. Great sound for the type of music you mentioned. Cheap to buy($100 for a 30wpc tripath)and cheap to operate. You can leave it on while you sleep and it runs cool and sucks almos... | |
| LS3/5A & Pass Labs Regarding integrating a sub- with a little time and effort with a sound meter and test cd you can do it nicely. Using a crossover and an active sub means less work for your 30 wpc amp since it will not see frequencies below your crossover point. Y... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Every gambler knows the secret to surviving,Is knowing what to throw away and knowing what to keep.Cause every hand's a winner, and every hand's a loser,And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep. | |
| Seeking full range single driver speaker recs I like my Hornshoppe Horns with Fostex drivers. I use them in the bedroom with Bottlehead Paramour amps and have been happy with them. Mine were $700 new, but I believe the price has gone up to $775 now. They come up for sale used occasionally.htt... | |
| Tubed CD Player An inexpensive tubed cd player that comes up used every now and then for $500 or so is the Heart CD-6000. It's a modified Marantz player. If you upgrade the tubes (NOS Seimens 6922 is what is usually recommended) these sound very very good IMO. I ... | |
| VMPS QSO 626 Ribbon Versus Josephs/ Tylers I've been very happy with my Linbrooks. I have the monitors and have added a pair of REL Strata III subs. I power the Linbrooks with a Pass Aleph 30. This provides beautiful music and plenty of volume for me in a large room. | |

| Do You Remember Your First Music Purchase? I'm pretty sure it was a 45 of "D.O.A." by Bloodrock when I was in grade school. Now that's a weird song. | |

| What song says something about you? Charlie Daniels Band- Long Haired Country BoyI'm not a big country music fan, and Charlie Daniels has gone off the deep end in recent years, not to mention the horrible cover of this song that recently came out by some other country "artist", but ... | |
| Aleph 3/30 Owners: What preamp do you use? I have an aleph 30 and an aleph p. It doesn't have a phono stage, so I'm no help there, but I wanted to encourage you to go for the aleph amp- it's awesome! | |
| Luxman T-117 Tuner FWIW I have a T-117 and a Sansui TU-717 that I have AB-ed in the same system. The Luxman sounded better- not by much, but definitely better. Slightly "fuller" and richer in the midrange as I recall.I live in a city with lots of stations, so I've n... | |
