Moving up????

Danny Richie of GR Research designs the crossovers in the Tyler speakers.

I like Danny.  But like everyone else, he's in it to make a living.  Never blindly accept everything you hear from people--including all the highly respected manufactureres and sellers who post here.  I like all of them but know they have bias.

@robshaw - I don’t have experience with the Tyler Acoustic models you are focused on , but I did previously have both the Lindbrook System 2s and Taylo 7’s . The build quality was there and they very pleasing sounding. I passed them onto 2 different younger folks I know along with some other equipment to get them "started". Also, I found Ty easy to communicate with. I don't know where you are in TN and if Owensburg KY is a practical distance for a possible trip to hearing them at Ty's. Good luck if you decide to get them.

Is R&R rest and relaxation?  I definitely use speakers for R&R.  I like Dynaudio but they are Danish.  I suppose any good soft dome tweeter design would work. I don’t know much about Tyler Acoustics but they seem to use soft domes which is a plus in my book.  

Heard good things about Tyler speakers but have never heard them in person, but I’m sure they’re very good. If it’s me I’d look at the Usher Mini Two Diamond as it’s in the same price/spec ballpark, and the Usher speakers I’ve heard are outstanding in sound, looks, and value and unfortunately fly way under the radar here in the US. They’re one of the few manufacturers that make their own drivers, and as such the Mini Two offers the same diamond tweeter (read: not beryllium) that’s offered in their $40k flagship speaker. This dealer seems to offer a similar return policy as Tyler (although it’s 30 days) and may be worth checking out. Not made in the US but just another high-value option to consider, and best of luck.
