Tyler Linbrook System for butt kicking?

Woodmeres provide that lowest half octave, not even present on most recordings. They also have a more relaxed bass voicing. They need a big room, as those 10 inch woofers move a lot more air than the Linbrooks 8 inch drivers.

Mrvegas, I have the Linbrook Signature Systems (1 Piece). I think you have gotten excellent advise. Go for it!

Regarding amplification, these are VERY revealing speakers. They do not have any of the upper-midrange/high end emphasis problems associated with a lot of "audiophile" speakers, in fact they might even have a mild dip in the 2000 to 3000 hz range, but that doesn't mean that they won't fully reveal the nature of the electronics you are using. You will hear everything! Very clearly! That said, I have been using 40wt tube amps (but I don't rock out) as well as large stereo and mono tube amps, very successfully. If you don't listen excessively loud, or have a huge room to fill, you don't need lots of power so long as you got good 4ohm output, tube or SS.

Re the DK - I would be very careful before I took that route. Many of the reviews that I have read by folks who have actually owned one have complained of a less than stellar upper mid-range (reminds me of the typical complaints made about inexpensive SS stuff - glassy, grainy, rought, etc). I haven't owner one so I can't testify. I know they are really cheap now (used for down to $1300) but, personally, if I couldn't hear one in my system I would avoid the temptation. FWIW.

Hope you enjoy your Tylers.

Mrvegas,

You really need to check out the new speakers from Tyler
that I mentioned above. Not only do they rock, but they
are great for all types of music. Very fast & dynamic as
you can imagine, but most important, they are highly
musical.
Very open & airy sounding also. They are fantastic with
my modded Jolida Sig 3205..50 W/PC.

I love em, and I recently owned Green Mountain C-3's
and Dunlavy SCIVA's, B&W 801MIII's, to name just a few. I usually grow tired of a
component in a week (yes I'm sick) or so if it is not doing it for me,
and I have had these now for a whopping month and like
them more every day. :o) Not that that means anything
to anyone else, just trying to say I am hard to please.

Hey, Ty is using using a pair (larger) in his personal system.
He may build me a matching 18" sub using a built in
1000W amp. Should be outrageous!

They do not even have a name yet, but he is building
another pair for a good customer of his that ownes his
other speakers as well. I think they may be right up your alley,
if you can handle their size 5.5' tall...200lb ea.

99db...great with tubes!

Anyway, there is no info on his site yet, but thought
you may be interested in looking into them since they
will be priced in the range you are looking at.
