Does anybody know what's wrong with Tyler's bass?

I have checked some reviews on Tyler's Reference Monitors (I mentioned that I am planning to upgrade my Paradigm S-40) and found that everybody likes thier mids and highs but they say that Tyler's bass is "bad news" (from SOUNDSTAGE review).
Does anybody have any experience with those speakers to confirm or deny that?
How is this bass in comparison with Paradigm reference monitors?
Thanks

Hi Guys,
Thanks a lot for your responses and suggestions.
I eventually found one monitor which denies the theory that monitors can not produce a good bass without compromising clarity. The one is Totem Mani-2 - the flagship of Totem monitors. It goes amazingly deep and still detailed and cristal clear.
I tried monitor-sub combos and found that subs are usually boomi and kill monitors' clarity by this.
The only problem with Mani-2 is that it is a POWER-HUNGRY BEAST.
My Bryston 3-BSST with 175W per channel is barely enough for this speaker so I am considering to go up to Bryston 4-BSST.
Thanks again.

I have to revise this, the active 20's and 40's Paradigm made are awesome. I am sure with bette crossovers the others would sound better as well.
