I have a pair of the Linbrook Super Towers in maple. They are still breaking in at 2 weeks of ownership. I have seen posts indicating 200-500 hours of break-in is to be expected and would agree.
The build quality is a delight to behold. The maple veneer is superb. Fit and finish is quite nice, time will tell. When I think of 5' high 110 pound speakers, I think of imposing, room-dominating behemoths ala the 2001:space odyssey monolith. Not so, the light wood finish and the slender footprint invite you to look. They are handsome and they match my dog. The SEAS drivers are really attractive in a retro space-ship-kinda-way. The drivers aren't proprietary; you can get them from SEAS yourself. The wife/ aesthetic authority actually prefers the grills off. I have never owned speakers that I liked to look at as much as these. They replaced some B&W monitors on stands. They look and sound much better.
The sound stage is deep and wide. The bass is indeed punchy but not overstated. High's continue to open up and invite me in (too soon to fully qualify impressions). They are front ported and can be placed near the wall without being boomy. The sensitivity of 92db in the Linbrook Super Towers allows my Stingray at 50wpc of tube power to drive them to very pleasing/ arm-hair-tingling levels. My room is 17x22'. While they could fill a room twice the size, they don't overwhelm. Nice bass slam, inviting image and no fatigue even at high spl. In many listening sessions I forget how loud I have it until I try to say something to someone. The feedback from friends and family is envy and incredible.
The best for last, Tyler is a treat to do business with. Over sales and dollars he is sincerely interested in your sonic happiness. He bends over backwards to service his customers. I had some hesitation to do a blind buy from Kentucky. I want to support the local little guy and stay away from big chains and box-moving serviceless internet-based clearing houses. In doing some research, all the feedback I read was good and anecdotally, completely true. Tyler is the local little guy and will take the time to answer your questions and ensure your satisfaction. You will not be disappointed with your purchase from Tyler Acoustics. Tyler is low on hyperbolic adjectives to describe the 4 micron, reverse distilled unobtainium moon-dust dampening system, and high on sonic and aesthetic quality, price and service. Am I gushing ? Ill stop now.
