This may only be of tangential interest. Nevertheless...
A few years back we ran a semi-rigid, double-blind comparo of a number of ~$2,000 stand mount speakers. I wrote up a lengthy report for another audio forum that compared the Tyler Acoustics Taylo monitor to 7 or so other stand mount speakers. We had a gaggle of audiophiles run through an all-day comparo of 8 ~$2,000. The report is quite lengthy and detailed, including measurements. The Taylo was preferred almost as much as the top selection Salk Ellis 1801. (Anyone interested in the full report can PM me.)
I agree with others here who believe that the Tyler Acoustic speakers are excellent value speakers. Plus, in my experience, Tyler is a really nice guy.
Here are a few of the personal, experiential comments with regard to the format subjects.
TYLER TAYLO
These lovely Taylos represented another pair with stunning good looks. The burled maple veneer was impeccable. The audition team seemed to think that this pair also matched its beauty with its attitude via some across-the-board praise. Finding reviews of Tyler Acoustic speakers is difficult. Hopefully we can add to the library as they are worthy competitors. (Introduction, written 2010 - Mudslide. These were but a few of them many commentaries.)
Resolution - Resolution comments ranged more than any other elements, but were still excellent. "Full-bodied, but bit forward", "Bit hot", "Detailed and lifelike", "Piano artificial sounding", "Very good".
Bass - I guess you have to love the Seas driver and cabinet integration. "Perfect", "Natural", "Nicely extended".
Midrange - I'll let the comments do the talking. ""Man, these are GOOD", "Superb and balanced", "Natural if just a bit forward", "Excellent".
Transparency - This element may suffer from the same issue that limited consensus on Resolution. "Neutral, but not airy", "Not as clean", "Very good".
Transients - And the Taylos are back to consensual comments from the team. "Not bad", "Clean", "Live sounding", "Nice".
Visceral Impact - Overall, this was a very strong performer for impact with perhaps the best reports. "Got me involved", "Great", "Very good".
Soundstage - For some reason, the Taylo pair was another that overcame the multiple off-axis listener perspectives. "Excellent!", "Live", "Nothing overdone", "Very good".
Dynamics - This pair is showing itself to be a top quality loudspeaker. Dynamics were also seen by the team as near fabulous. "Very good", "Snappy", "Good...maybe a touch hot", "Superb".
Other Comments - "I like these", "Natural sounding, perhaps a little muddy", "I'd be surprised if these weren't tower speakers", "Excellent".
