Hi Jazzbeat, how are you? I recently purchased a pair of Tyler Acoustics Linbrook System II's. The speakers are breaking in rather nicely and I am thrilled with my purchase. In this relative price range I have owned Martin Logan Aerius i's, PSB Gold i's and Soliloquy 6.2's. These speakers top all of the aforementioned in terms of build and sound quality. Mine are still breaking in and I am not using my best electronics due to a malfunctioning piece but I am extremely happy with them. I have a feeling these are going to be in my system for a long time to come. In fact, I liked the Fronts so much that I laid out the extra cash to have my center finished in the Redwood Burl as well!! Not an inexpensive thing to do but as I said these will be here for awhile….. So far the Tyler’s have the snap that I was missing after giving up the stats. They are very fast and yet they have the midrange warmth and bass slam that I couldn’t get with the Logans. The PSB and Soliloquy speakers gave me the dynamic punch that I was longing for while owning the Stats but they never gave me that top end sparkle and midband I so desired. I feel that the Ty’s fill all of these qualities that I’ve been looking for. They also throw a very nice soundstage in the vertical and horizontal plains. They are starting to sound a little more extended front to back but I really have to wait to get my tube system up and running before I can judge how well or how poorly they will perform with that. I have never had much success with depth as my system performs double duty with HT and stereo listening. I have a large 50 inch RPTV in between the speakers.I know I have not really answered your question regarding the F series speakers but I have never heard them. I have listened to Maggies on several occasions and they have just never been my cup of tea. I actually chose the Martin Logans over the Magnepan 1.6’s four or five years ago. But, as we all know this matter is entirely subjective. With Tyler’s return policy you really can’t go wrong. I was a little apprehensive about going with a mail order dealer too, especially since my only true exposure was on Audiogon. Some of my wisest audio purchases have been from mail order direct establishments, however. They are as follows: Outlaw Audio Pre/Pro for my HT, ACI Titan sub, Signal Cable speaker and interconnect cables and the Tyler Speakers. Needless to say I am extremely grateful for the internet!! As far as the other poster well, pay him no mind. He is judging something he has never heard. This is truly ridiculous IMHO.
Good Luck.
Greg
PS Ty is truly a Great guy to talk with so give him a call and he will help you out with any questions that you may have. He will not pressure you into a sale and is willing to discuss gear with people too. He is a true audio enthusiast that is eager to please his customers. BTW, he only usually attends two shows a year, CES and the Rocky Mountain. Perhaps that is why you don’t see Tyler speakers winning DIY awards? LOL.

Follow Ups:
Nice response. I enjoy reading feedback from audiophile's who've actually heard a particular item. This is the only kind of feedback worth reading. Speculation and assumptions are based on fiction and are not real.

Hi gme109, thank you for the kind reply. Those look like a very interesting set of speakers that you have there!! I bet they sound great!! Anyway, I believe that there are a lot of fantastic products available in all price ranges. I would love to own many of them and try them out but I also know that this is far more then I can financially handle. Some people are just very insecure in general and have to bash other people so that they may feel good about themselves, or their purchases. This is quite sad and very pathetic indeed.
Best Wishes
GregS
