| Tyler Signature System versus Merlin VSM-MM I have not heard the VSM-MMs, but did hear the VSM-MXs a couple months ago on top-of-the-line gear setup perfectly. I own the Signature System (using not as high-end gear but still well matched to the speakers)...I wrote Bobby an email after the a... | |
| Legacy Focus vs Salk HT3 I have owned Legacy speakers in the past, and am very familiar with the sound of the Focus (as I considered upgrading to it years ago)... I also have heard the Salk HT-3 and I own the Tyler Linbrook Signature System.As for comparing the Tylers to ... | |
| I just purchased from Ty Congrats... I have not heard those as I think those are his new high efficiency line with different drivers than the ones used in his other lines (like the two I own)... but it seems whatever Ty touches turns to gold, so I am sure you will like th... | |
| Looking for All-a-round speaker $3k range I agree with Mahandave here. I too am a *big* Merlin fan and find them excellent two-way speakers... That said, for Rock and the like, Legacy Audio indeed would be a good place to start. If you have a large room, you may be able to find some origi... | |
| Are these damned brands or not good speakers? Well on Green Mountain Audio, I heard the $2900/pr. Callistos while on vacation a month and a half ago, and they are certainly worthy of their praise. Ugly as mud IMO, but quite good sounding indeed.That said, the point about limited distribution ... | |
| Compare: Salk Sound, Silverline, Tyler, Zu That would be quite interesting indeed if someone has...I think finding someone who has heard both Tyler and Salk side by side is going to be difficult as Tyler is a very small brand and Salk even smaller still, not to mention they are both mail o... | |
| Compare: Salk Sound, Silverline, Tyler, Zu Dave, do you have the 1 or 2 piece Linbrook Sig. system?DRS: I have the two piece.---Dave | |
| Compare: Salk Sound, Silverline, Tyler, Zu Drseid: (1) I think Tyler uses dome and Salk ribbon tweeters. Did you feel any difference in the high end due to this?DRS: Not really... I like both tweeters about the same quite frankly. The Millenium dome used by the Linbrooks is one of the best... | |
| Compare: Salk Sound, Silverline, Tyler, Zu The bottom end of the Linbrook Signatures extends deeper, and is subjectively "faster," IMO. The midrange was a much closer call... I guess I preferred the Tyler's "voicing," per se with respect to the midrange. Again, I do not mean this in any wa... | |
| Compare: Salk Sound, Silverline, Tyler, Zu Sorry, in my case I can't help you there... I have only heard the HT1s and the HT3s (the HT3s really were the ones I was looking at to go up against the Tyler Linbrook System).---Dave | |
| Compare: Salk Sound, Silverline, Tyler, Zu A lot of good choices there... I liked all of them except ProAc (the floorstanders I heard were way too dark for my tastes, and some detail was missing that I am used to). I would add Spendor also to your list of "Britsh classics." They probably a... | |
| best speakers for vocals? If size is an issue, then the Merlin VSM-MXs already recommended are definitely ones I would recommend you look at as well (very nice all-around speaker at $10K/pr., IMO). I also liked the GMA speakers a lot (I heard the Callistos) and can recomme... | |
| 2way speaker recommendations I'll second the Merlin VSM-MX recommendation from Sbank. I think the Merlins may be about as good as you will ever find in a 2-way floorstander. I definitely was extremely impressed when I heard them a couple months back. Worth every penny Bobby c... | |
| Salk HT3 vs VAS VR4jr I thought that about the db99's at first, but after further listen the tweeter on the SR is much better.Fair enough, you are certainly entitled to your opinion... I disagree, however."I did not like them at all, sorry" - wow, must have high standa... | |
| Salk HT3 vs VAS VR4jr I heard the SRs at THE Show in Vegas in 05... I did not like them at all, sorry. Could have been the room or the electronics (the Oracle CD player was on the fritz). That said, in the Consonance room that same show, they were using VS DB99s to fea... |
