millenium or revelation tweeter?

Linaeum66,

I see your post is from 6 months ago, but...

I am just now considering ordering the Taylo Reference monitors.

I just talked to Ty. I'm still not sure which tweeter to order, but he did say that the faceplates ARE a different size - one is 4" and the other is 4.25", so they cannot be swapped.

He also said that he uses a different crossover with each tweeter.

I just broke in a Linbrook Signature with the Seas Millenium - my other speakers have the Dynaudio Tweeter. I've not heard the Revelator, but what I have heard of it reminds me of similar comments about Dynaudio. The Seas is very smooth and natural - no etched or piercing highs. I love the fact that it does not draw attention to itself - and it makes speaker placement a bit easier than with the Dyna's. FWIW.

I own Tyler Acoustics speakers with both kinds of tweeters...

My feeling is they are both fabulous tweeters, and are equals (just different sounding).

The Revelator is a bit more detailed, while the Millenium is more natural.

If I *had* to choose one for *my* use, I would say I prefer the Revelator by ever slight a margin, but I have a preference for detailed sound. I would not say it is the "better" tweeter, but rather it is more in line with my preferences.

Both tweeters sound fabulous in all the speakers from Ty, BTW.

I have owned numerous speakers from TA. I prefer the Scan speak units. I feel they have more air and detail. That could be due to my taste in music. I even had TA use the upgraded Ring Rev. tweeter and that unit is expensive but amazing. I do agree some folks might feel that the Scan Speak is a bit more forwarded or detailed. It's all a matter of taste.

Hey Gold,

I also was considering asking Tyler to make a custom monitor with the Scanspeak ring rev. How does it compare to the revelator (which I have now). Also how much did the custom speakers go for at TA.
