Thanks to all, I really appreciate it. I love my Tekton DI's, hard to beat them for my Rock and Roll music. There are so many choices out there. I just looked at Sound Advice per recommendations, on the Usher Mini 2, as it's in my price range. Never really heard of them. I have dealt with Sound Advice before and really like them. I bought an ATI 6002 AMP from them a year or so ago, and it's OUTSTANDING!!! Somewhat hooked on TEKTON from my current experience, just looking for a little more, wondering if it really exists, or as my wife generally states, YOUR NUTS! I hate to say it, but, she is usually right, PS she loves the DI's. By the way an earlier post thought R&R was rest and relaxation, he was probably right, so I will spell out the next time, ROCK and ROLL, my error, sorry. Thanks again all!
Moving up????
Watched a couple of reviews today from GR research on you tube. Like to buy USA if possible. I know people say this part is made here and that part made here and assembled in USA, blah blah blah. The crux of the review was on a company I was unfamiliar with, called Tyler Acoustics in KY. The two speakers I was interested in were the Time Keeper and the Highland 3.5. Gr research referenced them (the Company) as using only top shelf drivers and everything within as being top shelf. No middlemen, direct seller. Handmade!!! Only thing I didn't care for was a 20 day return policy, and a 20% re stocking fee, if you don't like it. Does anyone have information or own these speakers??? Big R&R person here, just wondering how they stack up?/ Robert TN

@robshaw Tyler Acoustics has been in business for at least over 20 years. Back around 2000 I took a road trip to visit his workshop and over the years bought several pairs of his speakers. He’s excellent to do business with, his cabinetry is first rate, prices are really good for what you get, and the speakers sound great, though I have not heard the latest models. I can heartily recommend Tyler. |
For rock music one of my top choices by far would be ATC, and in your price range the SCM40s would be at the top of my list, period. There are actually a couple pair available here now for around $4k, so you could try them and if they don’t work out you can turn around and sell them. Here’s the Sound Approach link but Music Direct also sells them and offers a more generous 60-day return policy although the terms aren’t clear on the website. Here’s a fairly recent review fyi… https://www.soundstageultra.com/index.php/equipment-menu/1081-atc-scm40-loudspeakers |
Why not just buy a Danny Ritchie speaker? If a guy’s budget is restricted to 1k - 4k, he should do himself a favor and buy a Danny Ritchie or Andrew Jones speaker (forget about all the other crap out there in that price bracket). I have a speaker sitting right next to a Danny Ritchie speaker that costs 30 fold and another one that costs 60 fold. I can vouch for the stuff that comes from Danny or Andrew. |
