Unless you have great results with an amp that has ultimate bass extention I doubt you will get much more out of the Tylers. I had "better" bass response in my room from my Totem 1 speakers which are much smaller(bass is the biggest challange in my room also). Even with a pair of subs I never got the Tylers to work that well in my system, but if you keep them add a sub. They sound best out from the wall anyway. If you search 'Tyler' here you will find you are not the only one with questions about the Reference Monitor's bass. I could not get away from a highlighting of detail compared to the rest of the sound. Loads of reviews indicate that others have enjoyed them so you may be able to get your setup to work for you. Good luck. ps Newbee says no sub but you can move the sub around and possibly find a spot where it (they) works in your room.
My weakest link??
I'm getting the upgrade bug and would like your comments on my system's "weakest link." Small carpeted listening room - 11x12x8 with a padded wall behind the speakers and bookcase on the opposite wall. Linn Ikemi CD on vibrapods, Onkyo T9090II tuner, Plinius 8150 integrated, Tyler Reference Monitors on sand-filled Soliloquy stands, Quadraspire rack, HT Truthlink ICs, HT Pro-9 speaker cables, Shunyata Black Mamba PC on amp and JPS Labs digital cable on CD. Two dedicated circuits with Albert Porter Hubbell cryoed outlets and 10 gauge THHN wire.
Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
