Aktchi "maddening" hehe...yes it has been difficult for this 50 yr old brain to keep all the Sigs, Systems, ONE, TWO's all in proper order, and making sure everyone is on the same apge. But as you point out there is no lab that offers the extent of moels as does Ty, At the top of his line you've got those MONSTROUS Towers with a 10 inch at the top and one at the bottom of the cabinet!!! + A few other Towers to boot. Then the baby of the seas' family ty has that newest mini monitor with the 5 inch midwoofer/tweeter. And everything in between. Come one come all. No other lab worldwide comes even close. Thus in someways you can say Tyler ofers the world's best speaker line, not only models but also as I consider the seas the finest deriver in the world. Just my opinion "of course".
But as you say names do not matter its the end redsult we are all after, : Does it deliver? Is the question. According to Sallie , yes indeed the Systems 2 does. If it a good idea that Ty renames his models, all for the sake of convience? I guess not really , what we need to do is make sure we are on the same page on what model we are talking. So I suggest write down all his models on a reference card and make short notes. Exaplme, Taylo7U=MTM T (T= tower) Taylo REFERENCE 3's = W26/W18/T25 ( a model no one talks about) Linbrook Systems 2 = W22/W18/T25 Linbrook SIGNATURE SYSTEM = MTM/Bass Module.
Sure it will take alittle work from us, but after a month, you'll have the models locked into memory.
btw there are a few issues i have with Sallie's review. For some odd reason she brings up another speaker as reference. But says its possibly her first choice over the SYS2. seems to me its a bit disingenuious to make these accurate comments on the Tyler's which after reading you could translate "it just don't get much better than this", yet she prefers the "other reference speaker" I just don't get it. Which is why I avoid these "audio reviews".
There si an article in the Absolute Sound, "Can an audio system sound real?" Which I will not read, as I know the answer already and know of a sytem that will deliver the goods. Mine at present does just fine. I'm comparing my setup to the dozens of speakers/systems I've heard over the past 30 yrs.
The System2 vs Thor will have to wait, I expect the System 2 to come out as my fav especially for classical music, but all other genres as well. The System 2 seems to be the ideal speaker, each driver is doing what it is suppose to do.
