Tyler Woodmere II: any advices?

Really nothing new here, Kanuk. The info on Ty outsourcing his crossovers designs has been well known for for some time. Try doing a search on the Audio Asylum forums and you'll see what i mean.
As far as the cabinets ... This is so far from the truth, it's rediculous. When I took a trip to the Tyler factory I saw for myself Ty sanding away on the very speakers that eventually would be sitting in my living room.

I don't think I was hallucinating.

Your so called "dealer"...has an agenda..one that probably involes you purchasing from him, no doubt.

Hi Kanuk...
Rtilden says it best...I would add my own experience not with the II's...but with the BIG brother..The Woodmere.

I've had mine for a little over 3 months and can honestly say that I not only continue to be impressed with the craftmanship, but the SOUND.. I mean,my GOD does this speaker make MUSIC?...You bet they do!..hands down the finest quality music making I've ever heard...and I've heard more than my fair share of speakers in my nearly 35 years of having an audio system in my home. If you're anywhere near Louisville, KY, I would be glad to welcome you in to my home for a demo.

FYI...If you decide to get the II's..get the external x-over modification.Makes a good sounding speaker, even better by lowering mechanical and electronic noise.Well worth the modest cost increase.

YES!...There still a good value...considering that the Seas drivers in the Tylers are being used in some other speaker designs costing 20k or more, ( I'm thinking Joseph Audio and Von Schweikert, to name a few)

The price increase probably better reflects the REAL value of the Tyler's. I remember on several occasions I've talked to Ty and told him I was suprised he was charging so much LESS than his competion.

I suggest you talk to Ty...he's a great guy and just might be able to make a purchase worth it to you, regardless of his advertised prices.

Do you work for the dealer mentioned above?...If not, you should apply immediately for the next available sales & BS position. I'm sure you would fit right in.

BTW...If I'm a "fawning fool" for having purchaed a Tyler product, Then I'm certainly a very happy one!

Cheers!
