Tyler Acoustics: Taylo Ref III vs. Linbrook Sig's

Ok, I'm trying to decide between the Taylo Referece III and the Linbrook Signature System. What are +/- on each of these. I like detailed highs and midrange slam (coming from Dynaudio's), so would like to know how these compare.

I absolutely do NOT want blotted bass, but very controlled bass and smooth highs. I've read lots of reviews from audioreview, but would like more personal reviews from those here.

I really like a large soundstage that is why I'm looking at these. I've gone through B&W N804, Paradigm Studio 40v3, and Dynaudio's this year alone.....would like to end the search for awhile with the Tyler's.

Also, how do the grills attached? Surely, that is not velcro I'm seeing on the monitors or is it?

Thanks,

Well, I went with the Freedom F5, which is much like the Linbrook 1 piece floorstander. Talking with Ty, he said I would get 85% of the sound as the Linbrook at a fraction of the cost. Plus, if I wanted I could always add the Millennium tweeter later if I wanted with a very minor crossover change.....Still way below the cost of the Linbrooks. Also the Seas drivers are the same as in many high-end like Joseph Audio, etc.

I can always trade up when ready, too. I will let you know my thoughts!

Is it true that Ty is making a new higher end series of speakers with Scan speak ring revelators and the high end scan speak midwoofers.

As far as the bass is concerned I did some comparisons with the Linbrook 2-8" bass modules and a custum Seas 1-10" rear ported passive subwoofers TA designed for me. I feel the 10" goes a tad deeper but it's close. The difference between 2 mids and 1 mid might have a bigger impact on what speaker you choose. Both are excellent. I had 2 pairs of Linbrooks (1-2 piece) and 2 pairs of Ref II's.
