Von Schweikert v. Tyler Question


Can anyone who has heard the two speakers I am considering make comments on their similarites and differences, please?

Tyler Linbrook Signature 4-piece
Von Schweikert VR-4 GenIIISE

Planning to dirve these with a Platinum Upgraded McCormack DNA-225 (currently have a Pass X1 linestage, but may opt for a tube linestage instead).

Thanks

Drrasta, Regarding imaging with the Linbrooks - I agree with your comments, however I wonder if you have experimented with toe in a lot. I came to the Linbrooks from Dynamics that had to be pointed straight ahead, they were just to hot on axis. Ty suggested that these needed to be toed in a bit. Did that, it helped. Last nite I decided to listen to them on axis - that really brought them into focus - and they are not too hot on axis - now I'm listening for the down side (perhaps not quite as expansive a soundstage). Fine tuning to come. Incidentially I have the one piece unit in which the 7' midranges and tweeter are in a sealed enclosure as opposed to the ported upper unit in the 2 piece. I've not heard both units but this suggests to me that the one piece might have a tighter mid-range so my comments might not relate to the 2 piece unit.
