Tyler Acoustic vs. Paradigm

Jaybo I must disagree on Paradigms being flat response. Take a look at the Paradigm Reference Signature S2 loudspeaker graph on Stereophile.

I've owned a few pair of the newer 20v3s which are pretty darn close to the same speaker....they don't have a flat response by a mile.LOL

Tonally accurate? their not even close..sorry no dice my friend. Checkout the
Response graph.

Good listening

Loose,

What about the Epos 12 do you like?

I've never heard a Tyler speaker but have heard a number of Paras. Two neighbors in my 'hood have floorstanders and I recently auditioned a pair of the high end stand mounts with the beautiful finish. None of them drew me in and the stand mounted was actually a little irritating, a little brittle.

the midrange on the entire paradigm line is as flat as a pancake(measured as such). also compare them to the tyler.

The question is - Which is most important to you - How a speaker sounds, or how a speaker measures? hmm....

actually loudspeakers that measure well tend to sound lackluster in an in-store audition when compared to speakers that focus on exagerating certain 'pleasing' frequencies. you will find however that speakers that measure well, tend to stay in your system longer and allow you to play all catagories of music and favor none. a well designed speaker can also be paired to a variety of quality gear, without disasterous results. how a speaker sounds to you will also change as you age. The best sounding paradigm speaker i ever heard was a model called the 'export'. to my ears it is still better than anything either of these companies makes today. a classic.
