Tyler House Sound

I recently purchased my first set of Tyler speakers. They are a custom pair of F2 2 way speakers that were made into floorstanders. I've heard good things about Tyler speakers so I was pleased when these came up on Audiogon.

Do all Tyler speakers have a "house sound". My impressions are a very transparent, clear, detailed, upfront sounding but not aggressive, large soundstage. Are similar to my old Thiel .5's without the "bite", must be the Kentucky air.

Are there certain electronics or cabling that go well with these speakers. If I could I'd like to soften them a wee bit. Do they like tubes? I'm running a NAD CDP,Signal cables and an Aragon 4004 mkII.

Thanks - Jack

Oh yeah, the cabinets are insane!

I'm not sure I would call the drivers "dry" sounding. Crystaline, maybe. Ty uses other high quality parts in addition to the drivers. As with any speaker worth its salt - Tylers will clearly reveal the signal that is being sent to them. If your upstream components have - shall i say - issues, you will surely hear, every issue, with the Tyler Linbrooks. (same speakers as Newbee) But In my mind, that is what a speaker is supposed to do - reveal the music being sent to them.
I have a mix of SS and tubes, which I think is a pretty interesting mix: cdp - TRL SA-14, preamp - First Sound Presence Deluxe MkII, amp - Krell FPB400cx, to the Tylers.
The TRL is always compared, by others, as good analogue. FS is tubes with attitude. :-) The krell is FAST, clean, and revealing, with the power to handle ANY driver - easily.

I sit in front of my Linbrooks , amazed, at the sound that comes from them. I just love 'em.
