Tyler Acoustic Linbrook Super Towers

Holley,

Thanks. New speakers are a bit down the road, but I'm in central Ky, so driving up to Ty's place is something I should do.

Hi Holly, nice review and was close to as I figured the image would be. Basically with the Super you are getting 2 added W17's per cabinet. Correct? Which only adds more midbass/midrange. Not sure why you would go that route when you can get dual W22'/per cabinet in the Lin Sig Sys at near the same price.
"as others have commented on the Seas drivers"...there are no "others" ...its me doing all the cheering. You are spot on about the Seas' imaging, percise, clean, accurate. The Seas Millenium Tweeter is much superior to any/all ribbons. I can't stand ribbons. Many over at Madiisound disscussion board have stated the Millenium tweeter is the best they ever heard. Its certainly the finest I've heard and even beats out my opd Philips tweeter which was the finest tweeter back in the 1980's. Macintosh even used the Philips tweeter.

Hi Bartokfan,
I chose the Super Towers over the Lin Sig System in that it throws a larger soundstage, according to Ty. Also, I have an excellent subwoofer, so what I wanted was a 'large' monitor (the Towers have the MMTMM config vs. the MTMWW config of the LSS, which would look to throw a larger soundstage, at least on paper). The Super Tower is also taller (a little taller than my Legacy Focus) than the LSS, which makes the sound stage taller. I like 'seeing' singers that are realistic in size, and the Towers do an excellent job of that.

Then I would agree with a excellent sub, the Super towers with 4 7 inch W18's per cabinet would throw one "super size" sound stage. Thats 8 W18's projecting the midbass/low midrange!!!!! Unreal. Wow! I'd love to hear just that speaker even w/o a sub on my best orchestral/opera selection. You may have provided this senario for others to work out, sub + Lin Super Tower for a spectacular vibrant sound stage image. As the T25 Millenium tweer is beefy enough to cross low enough to meet the W18's (the W18 which equally are engineered to meet tweeter higher w/o breakup) that tweeter will not get "lost in the fray' from competeing with 4 midbass'. That would be some folks concern. But I'd bet the tweeter shines through with color. Correct? I nteresting and creative setup you got there. I'd love to have your speaker with a single Seas Excel W26 acting as sub. Though not a "true sub", still it should deliver all the lower fq's with performance.

Bartokfan, I was also worried about the 4 7" mids overpowering the T25 tweeter, but that doesn't seem to be a problem at all. The Millenium tweeter is simply amazing. I was a ribbon tweeter guy all the way back to the older Infinity EMIT tweeters, but the T25 has certainly changed my mind on that. You are also absolutely right about the towers in the midrange/midbass regions -- simply unbelievable.

My musical preferences lean heavily towards rock/jazz, and you have not heard the power and attack of a guitar (acoustic or electric) until you hear it through the Super Towers. I even threw on an older Telarc disc called "Orchestral Spectaculars" yesterday just to see how they would handle some classical music, and I listened to the disc all the way through. The ability of the Super Towers to resolve the low, delicate passages and then to instantly transition to dynamic crescendos really is something special. The more I listen to them the more I like them.
