Anybody Heard Tyler Acoustic Woodmeres?


I currently have a pair of Quad 988 speakers with a Thor Audio Monoblock TPA 150 watt tube amp, Thor Audio TA-2000 Preamp. with a VPI Scoutmaster turntable, and a Cary 306/200 as a transport with a Thor Audio Tubed Dac. To help out my bottom end I have the Audio Physics Minos Subwoofer. I am seeking a true full range speaker. I'm looking to go no higher than $15,000.00. I've thought of the Vandersteen 5a, and I recently heard about the Tyler Acoustics Woodmeres that are $12,000.00 factory direct. My room has a 12 foot ceiling and is 20 X 20. Has anybody heard these speakers? If so please comment.

I currently own a pair of Woodmeres. Their strengths are dynamic contrasts, very accurate and deep bass, and a midrange to die for. The sound stage is huge and would work well in your room. They are amazingly uncolored. I have had them for a year and still get excited about listeneing to them. They really make a good recording sound lifelike. Honestly, after a year I almost feel like I am not an audiophile because I can't fault them. If you go that way, get the outboard crossovers, they remove a whole quantum of distortion. They are also easy to place. It took me about one hour to find the spot and I haven't moved them since. I replaced a pair of Wilson WITT II with them. The Woodmeeres make the Wilsons soud dark and restricted. Have fun in your search....
