Tyer Acoustics Monitors and SET amp, how are they?


I am looking for the owners of Tyler Acoustics Monitor (either Taylo or Linbrook) that are using them with a low power SET amp (4-8 W). Could you please let me know if it will work and how is the set up doing?

I know that by the number 88 dB (89 db for Linbrook at 1W equiv to 8 ohm)is not that much for 8W power, but would like to hear a first hand experience from the owners. Also as the one who uses a 8W SET amp to drive a maggies 1.6, I probably wouldn't have much problem with the SPL.

Thanks,

Ake

I don't believe this is enough power. I have Taylo REF II's and they require lots of power. I am upgrading my KRELL KMA-100 MK2's to go with something with more power as they these class A 100 Watts amps are barely enough to get a decent SPL .. I like my music somewhat loud but even so I can't imagine 8 watts being able to drive just the top cabinets of my ref 2's. My setup is SF SFP-1 in MM mode(32 db) with Grado Sonata cartridge and AR LS-15 pre with the KRELL amps. If I switched the SFP-1 for something with more gain or ran the SFP-1 in MC mode(52db) then I may not need new amps...but hey my upgrading continues as per usual.
