Tyler House Sound

I recently purchased my first set of Tyler speakers. They are a custom pair of F2 2 way speakers that were made into floorstanders. I've heard good things about Tyler speakers so I was pleased when these came up on Audiogon.

Do all Tyler speakers have a "house sound". My impressions are a very transparent, clear, detailed, upfront sounding but not aggressive, large soundstage. Are similar to my old Thiel .5's without the "bite", must be the Kentucky air.

Are there certain electronics or cabling that go well with these speakers. If I could I'd like to soften them a wee bit. Do they like tubes? I'm running a NAD CDP,Signal cables and an Aragon 4004 mkII.

Thanks - Jack

Oh yeah, the cabinets are insane!

I have the Linbrook Signature Systems (1Piece). They are presently powered by a 40 wt tube amp - more than enuf IMHO. I can't fault your description of their sound, but they are very transparent and will easily reflect your choice of amps, pre-amp and sources. I've been able to fine tune mine by changing tubes in the amp and preamp a bit.

Congrats on your purchase! The Taylo Reference Monitors I owned were very enjoyable. And yes, they do like tubes. Ty has a good ear for dialing in his speakers. I think they are definitely one of the BEST values in speakers for the money..

Not to mention, Ty is a stand-up guy who stands behind his product.

Enjoy!

Plinko here. Using the Taylo Refs with a 40 Watt tube Primaluna Prologue II while listening mostly to analog. I'd say 60% rock, 20% jazz, and 20% classical.

Soundstaging is very very good. No, it's better than very good.

Very solid, versatile speaker in my opinion. Well worth it. Congrats!
