Tyler Linbrook System for butt kicking?

While I didn't buy the Linbrook Signature System for rockin' out, they are certainly capable of it. The bass is very good - tight, detailed and about as low as you would want to go. I listen to a wide range of music and have found no area where they're weak. Recently I put on some old ZZ Top and cranked it up to near pain levels for the sheer fun of it - it rocked big time. I'm a drummer and the speakers delivered.

As mentioned above, Ty has prototyped some extremely dynamic speakers which he feels are particularly good for rock n' roll. I've seen them (they're size XXL) but haven't heard them. The Linbrooks sound good out of the box, but really start to find their own after 200 hours or so. They're also a very revealing speaker and improvements in your front end or room acoustics will be rewarded.

Highly recommend the Linbrooks for electric music.

I owned a pair and now have Woodmeres.

You'll love the house sound.

thanks all

I am pretty sure I'm going to order a pair as soon as I can pull the money together.

I'm going to need an amp too. Any recommendations? Tyler said a hybrid integrated with around 150 watts per side would be good. DK Mark 2 used?

That would make a sweet setup for around $6K.

p.s.
JB, how much do you like the Woodmeres compared to the Linbrook?

Woodmeres provide that lowest half octave, not even present on most recordings. They also have a more relaxed bass voicing. They need a big room, as those 10 inch woofers move a lot more air than the Linbrooks 8 inch drivers.

Mrvegas, I have the Linbrook Signature Systems (1 Piece). I think you have gotten excellent advise. Go for it!

Regarding amplification, these are VERY revealing speakers. They do not have any of the upper-midrange/high end emphasis problems associated with a lot of "audiophile" speakers, in fact they might even have a mild dip in the 2000 to 3000 hz range, but that doesn't mean that they won't fully reveal the nature of the electronics you are using. You will hear everything! Very clearly! That said, I have been using 40wt tube amps (but I don't rock out) as well as large stereo and mono tube amps, very successfully. If you don't listen excessively loud, or have a huge room to fill, you don't need lots of power so long as you got good 4ohm output, tube or SS.

Re the DK - I would be very careful before I took that route. Many of the reviews that I have read by folks who have actually owned one have complained of a less than stellar upper mid-range (reminds me of the typical complaints made about inexpensive SS stuff - glassy, grainy, rought, etc). I haven't owner one so I can't testify. I know they are really cheap now (used for down to $1300) but, personally, if I couldn't hear one in my system I would avoid the temptation. FWIW.

Hope you enjoy your Tylers.
