Tyler Acoustics upgrade

I’ve had my Tyler Taylo monitors for quite a while, and after upgrading my amp recently from a Cambridge 640A to a Rogue Sphinx 3, I am getting much more out of the speakers, but I would ultimately like to get more of the lower frequencies that the Taylo’s just can’t hit.  I tried some other companies but feel I want to keep the Tyler/Rogue sound, so would like to look at some of their bigger models, specifically the Linbrook monitors or System 2 floorstander.  The monitor seems easier to track down these days but I am wondering how much difference I would hear between the monitor reaching down to 35 and the system 2 going to 32. If it matters, my room is 11x22.  Thanks for any thoughts!

You should call the company and ask the owner. I have never spoken to him, but I have heard that he is very helpful.

The Tyler Acoustic Taylo speakers use the Seas Magnesium woofers with a high resolution Scanspeak tweeter.  Tyler Acoustics has several lines, each with its own specific sonic signature.  If you want to keep Tyler, probably the best recommendation would be the Decade X SE " D2x SE" model tower speaker for $7800 / pair.

Salk Sound has some smaller tower speakers that use similar drivers.  You may want to look into them if you don't want a giant tower like the D2x SE.

I have heard great sound in a room not much different in size than yours.
Could you add 3-4 subs and keep your Taylos? 

That would give you the bass array you seem to be looking for.
for $2-$3k. 

Not familiar with Linbrook though sorry.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tyler madea  wise choice, by chosing the Scanspeak tweeter over the Seas Millennium,
I sold off my Seas Millennium's, as the db sens was wayyyy too low, at 87, 
Tweets absolute MUST BE, NO EXCEPTIONS to this Golden Rule, 91db, plus /minus 1 db. 
I tested the Seas Crescendo tweet, won 1 off eaby,,, its maybe at most 82db, site says 92,,will ship to Madisound for testing. 
If its not broken = its a  dud. Not sure why seas would lie. But they did in fact LIE.

Stay with your speaker as is.
The only thing you could do, and should do. is swap out the cheap caps in the xover and install, Mundorf SESGO (IF you can afford it) or lower priced Supreme Silvers.]
You will note significant slam in bass anda  slight nuance on the tweets. 
The Excel midwoofers are IMHO the finest mids in production.  Although db is a bit low, 
I have the Seas Thor minus the Millennium, so basically just the dual W18E001's per side
If you have the EX's, = better than the E version.
Also port the front, = better bass.
