I'm looking for thoughts on the Tyler Acoustics...

Linbrook System II's. I currently own Soliloquy 6.2's and I am looking for a speaker with a more extended top end and some extra punch in the bottom registers. My current equipment is a Sonic Frontiers Power II SE, Sonic Frontiers Line 1 SE and a Krell SACD Standard. I listen to just about everything with an emphasis on Jazz, blues and Classic rock. For those of you who have heard these speakers, how would you describe their sound? I am looking for a little more detail then what my current speakers are offering. Thanks for any help.

Gsselling, Great purchase. Take Oldpets advise. His experience mirrored mine re break-in time and ultimate satisfaction (We have the same speakers). I initially thought Ty was going to get his speakers back! Not! :-)

Just chiming in: I bought my Taylo Refs used so I suppose they were broken in but one thing I notice is that they really don't sound good the first half hour/45 minutes with my tube amp. Then, things open up and they sound brilliant. Soundstaging is really good. I didn't notice this with my previous speakers. Everytime I play music, I think I made a mistake during listening for the 1st half hour or so.

Hi guys, thanks for the responses!! I should be getting them tomorrow. :) Plinko, I'll keep what you said in mind but im thinking that what you are hearing is your upstream components warming up and not your speakers. I've never heard of a speaker sounding poor cold but it is often stated that certain equipment does. Perhaps the Tyler's are transparent enough to allow you to hear the differences and your previous pair was not?

Wow- the pic looks awesome. I just ordered the Linbrook Floorstanding Reference Monitors (Ebony Macassar w/the outboard crossovers and Cardas upgrade) and will have them in three weeks. I'm moving my gear into a small room (10' x 16') and I think the front ported monitors will be a great fit for the room. I'm anxious to hear your impressions of the LinIIs.

Exactly Gsselling. I think I'm finally hearing more of my tubes warming up, which, is a compliment to the speakers.
