Review on the Tyler Acoustics Lynbrook Signature's

This Review Is For The Tyler Acoustics Lynbrook Signature Series 1 Piece System in the Ribbon Mahogany Finish.

After a 200+ hour break-in period I have to say that these are the most Transparent and Revealing Speakers that I have owned or Audition.These speakers sound good from the begining but after the 200+ break-in period they are nothing but Remarkable. They posses a Superb Transient Response and a Distinguished Low Bass Performance that is hard to find in other speakers. Delicate Highs with a Beautiful Midrage Detail and a Wide Soundstage.The Lynbrooks are one of the Most Complete Full Range High End Speakers you can find and at $5500.00 it is a Real bargain because in order to achive this kind of performance you will have to spend at least twice as much for Speakers.The High End "Seas" drivers used on these speakers are the same drivers used in much more expensive speakers as the Joseph Audio Pearl Speakers ( MSRP$20,000) or the Von Schwikert VR-5 (MSRP $25,000). Actually on my list of speakers that I was considering purchasing these two were on it along with the Dali Euphonia MS5, B&W 800D and the Legacy Audio Whispers. I auditioned all of these speakers but still was not as convinced in their sound/performance as and when I purchased the Tyler Lynbrook Signature Series. I am not in any way saying that the before mentioned speakers are not good speakers I am simply saying that I felt that they did not bring out the sound performance that I was looking for in a pair of High End speakers.As far as the Lynbrook Signature Series I just couldn't find anything negative to write about these wonderful speakers.They are so clear and detail that you can hear every instrument being played but with the delicacy that you want to spend hours listening to them.These Speakers Have a Deep,Open and Wide SoundStage. They are without a doubt a very Musical Appealing Speakers.I am spending hours going thru my 300+ CDs,SACDs,HDCDs,XRCD24s collection and it is like listening to them for the first time but with the emphasis,transparency and detail that I have not experience with any other speakers before. I am Very Please that I didn't have to spend twiced as much to get this kind of Sound/Performance and Built Quality. These Speakers are Gorgeous looking Speakers and The Ribbon Mahogany Finish is Beautiful and the Built Quality is Outstanding. My Advice is that if you are looking for a pair of Full Range High End Speakers Give these Speakers a try. You have 20 days to Audition them and if you are not satisfy you can return them to get you money back. I honestly doubt that you will return these Remarkable speakers because it will very hard to find this kind of performance and built quality at this price.
I will appreciate sharing your commnents or experiences with these speakers or any other Tyler Acoustic Speakers.
Hope this review is helpfull to others.

My Best Regards to All.

Regarding the issue of warmth. FWIW, other speakers when set up in my room have a bit of a dip in the 200 hz range (without regard to cross over issues - one set are Quad 63's, the others are Paragon Jubilee/Jems which cross over at 400hz. The Tylers have a bit of a rise at 200hz - this is what I think gives them a sense of warmth absent in other speakers. I don't know if this is the result of the cross over frequency in the Tylers or if its due to the additional mid-range unit centered about 45' above the floor. I think it is the latter and that its low frequency sound is being reinforced by ceiling reflections. I arrive at that conclusion only because with a pair of 6'+ panels in the same location I have a 15db hump which disappears with a 200hz cross over and a seperate sub. My room has a 9' ceiling. I wonder if I would get the same measure result in a room with a much taller ceiling.

Other than that I think both Carlos and Stltrains have the Tyler LSS experience pegged. They are very revealing speakers with none of the downsides of high rez audiophile speakers (that I've heard lately). But then I enjoy listening to 'music'.............:-)

STltrains,
I agree with you 100% in your description of what you get from the Lynbrook SS of in terms of describing "warm". I get the same feeling and thus I spend many hours listening to these wonderful speakers.Actually today I had a few friends come over with their favorites Cds and we spent a few hours of critical listening and even my friends admitted to me that the Lynbrook Signature Series are the most "Revealing" speakers they have ever heard. One of them was so impressed by the realism of music that he wants to start saving money to purchase a pair ASAP.
Owners like Us attain to the many attributes of these speakers and therefore we love to write so much and let others know about our experiences with them.
Thank you Neweebe,Bartokfan,STltrains and all for your wonderful comments and experiences regarding these Remarkable Full Range Speakers and specially to Ty at Tyler Acoustics for making one of the Most Complete,Revealing,and Musical Appealing Speakers,
The Lynbrook Signature Series.

Regards to All,
Carlos.

Linbrook ownwers, I'm considering these or the II's as my next speaker purchase. My amp is the BAT VK-200. Is the 100watt/ch enough to drive these speakers, especially the I's with their multiple drivers? My previous amp was 200w/ch and the BAT 100w/ch is conservative.

Also, from the system pictures I see most have their Linbrook 1's near the rear wall. How's this working out?

More than enuf unless you're inviting early tinitus or deafness! :-)

I've recently acquired a set of 30 wt pp mono amps which easy accomplish the task of driving my One Piece Signature Systems. Previously I was using a set of 160 wt mono's to get the bottom end right, but clearly I no longer need the extra watts. I'm also using a second amp for a different front end which is an 80wt pp stereo amp which also has more than enuf balls and watts.

You should have no trouble using the BAT unless you have a large room and listen to music with an average sound level in excess of 90+ db's.

Good, I made a review of this speaker recently. It may be pages back. In my session I brought along a 40 watt tube amp and delivered bass with authority and dynamics in mids /highs. This is not a power hungry speaker , though it does look intimidating. The drivers specs say 87db, Ty has this 5 driver system xover so thats is 92 db. So its tube friendly to all tubes, except the low powered set of course. .
