Anyone knows what type of bookshelf speaker pairs really well with the Tyr?
I use Tyr with Harbeth P3ESR-XD speakers on my desktop, and they are a great pairing. The P3ESR is an LS3/5a design (sealed box mini-monitor) that is inherently reticent by nature, but the Tyrs bring out a full, dynamic sound. I was previously using a single stereo Vidar 1, and the Tyrs outdo it in every aspect – treble, bass, dynamics, smoothness, etc. The biggest surprise was how much the Tyrs improved playing at low volume, I think a testament to how well they grip the drivers. I haven't heard the Aegir, but they are low powered enough that with Harbeth you may lose headroom during transients. I also have a REL subwoofer to fill out the bottom end.Tyr for desktop listening?!? Wouldn’t Aegir be a better fit?
