Tyler Ref Monitors vs. Dynaudio 1.3 MK11

I own a pair of tyler ref moniters and can highly recommend them, one of the best sounding speakers that I have heard in their price class. Ty has used and demo from time to time and will include a 2 yr warranty.

Do you like the 72's or are you looking for a different sound? Assuming you like them, and if you're interested in saving a bit of money, I can highly recommend the Contour 1.1's. They're a bit easier to drive than the 1.3's and a bit less placement sensitive. And they sound great. Or, by the time you buy stands, you'll have almost enough in the 1.3's to go to the floor-standing 1.8's (unless the monitor concept is something you're really striving for). They're probably the easiest floor stander in Dyn's line to drive, and your McComack would do so nicely, while being a nice step up in sound. -Kirk

I like the 72's just fine. They do however, get quite loud in my room without too much effort. I've been told I might be better off going with a higher quality monitor. I owned the Audience 50's before I got the 72's. I loved the 50's but needed a little more bass. I was thinking the 1.3's or the Tyler's would probably give me a more refined sound and a bit more bottom end.

The 1.3's will definitely have a much more refined sound and more bottom end, at least if the 1.1's are any indication. I had the Audience 50's in my office system and replaced them with the 1.1's to both of those positive effects. I think the key if you go with 1.3's is how far out from the back wall do you need to bring them vs. how far do you want to bring them out. If you've got a little bit of room, they'll probably work like a dream. If you don't have more than a foot or so, you probably won't achieve their best. -Kirk
