Full range speakers with small footprint?

Agree the Vandy's are kinda ugly and big...Try Tyler's System's or Seas Thor kit.

Bartokfan: Did you ever get a chance to compare Tylers with your kit-built Thor? Assuming them to be of comparable quality, how much do we end up paying Ty for building the speaker?

Aktchi, in fact , an hour ago I sent Buck there in Jackson Mississippi a note asking if he has time this weekend for a visit. I plan to bring along my Jadis Orch Refer/KT90's and Cayin 17. Buck has the Cayin 50 cdp and so we'll get a chance to hear how the 2 compare. I'm expecting both to be very close. The Cayin 50(SACD) has 3 tubes, my 17 has 2 per channel.
I won't bring my Thors as its too much trouble. But I will be listening closely to a few reference cds before I leave and try to lock that sound in memory. I really look forward to the Tyler's Signature, the W22 as woofer may give the extra bottom the Thors lack. But as I really only listen to classical, not sure if I need more lower fq's.
....tell you what I may try to bring the Thors along with me....heck why not.

Bartokfan: I hope you have the most enjoyable visit and whatever the audition results, please post them. You know, such opportunities don't come everyday, who knows when or even if you will do this again, so take the trouble and bring your Thors along. You may understandably be focusing on possible upgrades, but if you have a chance, do at least a quick comparison against something comparable to Thors in Ty's line, maybe Linnbrook 2. I am curious as to whether a professional builder can improve on a home-assembled kit and how much it adds to the cost. Anyway, you have my envy and best wishes!
