Tyler Woodmere II: any advices?


I am thinking about jumping the gun on one of these thinking these could be my "ultimate speakers" (cannot justfy more than $10k on speakers ever) but need to hear from owners of that very model what their experience and recommendations would be in terms of amplification (qualifty, quantity), room, and set up in general. My room will be fairly large 25*15*9 open on one side to about same room.
Tks

Aktchi's advice is very good. Before committing to some very large speakers, it would be wise to see and listen to them. I heard these at RMAF 2007 and thought they sounded good but I was not blown away. They were gorgeous in the Zebrawood and I like the proportions and layout of the speaker. Build quality appeared top notch. I would contact Ty at Tyler and ask him if there is a "house sound" to the lineup. I would then try to demo any Tyler speaker locally or purchase one of the pre-owned Tylers I often see on the 'Gon. Ty has a generous trade in policy so you have little to lose by moving up the line.
My advice is keep looking. I tend to favor very high -efficiency speakers with interesting technology or a very good pedigree. Your current line of inquiry will lead you to neither.
Kanuk you are going to get a lot of suggestions from Goners to go with there choice of speakers. Stay with your thoughts and give Ty a call to set up a audition in your area.
Yes i have Tys Linbrook Sig System and they are a super full range speaker and truly fill the bill for me.
Build quality, solid sound design and Tys personal touch are a great combo to put your money on.
Kanuk:

Your choice of Tyler's Woodmere 2 speakers would be a good one. I own a pair with the outboard crossovers, and I am very impressed. Imaging, presence and natural sound are characteristic at low, medium and high volumes. They play nice small ensembles, large orchestral works and good old rock and roll equally well. I expect these speakers to be my last pair I own, provided that they last 25 years.

Wonderful, smooth, natural midrange and highs are particular strengths of the W2s. The bass is very tight and definitely not overblown.

I questioned Ty quite a bit regarding power amps to drive them. Evidently, they like the juice. 100W is the entry point to make them sing, according to Ty, and they do even better with more power. This led me to use a 220 Watt SS CODA integrated amp, which is a perfect match, in my opinion. Based upon the size of your room, I would say that something over 100W would be recommended. I would like to hear these speakers with a large tube amp, but I haven't had the chance.

Please feel free to email me directly with any specific questions you may have.
