Tyler Decade D1s

Have near 115 hours playing time now. D1s appear to have no problems with setup. I have not tried to get real technical with setup but dont think D1s will be difficult to get positioned. Making small moves for better listening and they are easily coupling into my large room very nicely.

I also put the spikes on at this time and can still slide them with small hard wood floor pieces and the towels beneath them.

Bass is really starting to bloom with a tight sound. Mid range has changed from its lean dry sound to a true life like sound. Piano and voice have real good timber. I'm starting to believe that timber is going to be one of these speakers high points.

The treble was on the hot side early and has also calmed down to the point of getting a little polite.

I am hearing very good air and transparency. The front wall is 20 feet across and its almost 30 feet to the back of the room and as you would think these big fine looking speakers are having no problem filling the room with music.

Will post more as the hours get logged in.

How big is your room? I hope I didn't make a mistake getting the D1's over the D2's. My room is a 15x24, 9 foot ceilings, attached to a rear hallway.

Dawgcatching you are not going to have a problem with room size with D1. Thats a big room big you have i would say. What your going to like is how D1 fills that room up with your favorite music though.

A real enjoyable night of music last night playing until the early morning of a new day. And carrying on later in this am is going to be a ditto as its Sunday with the Beatles.

Have a good one

All more than 230 hrs now and D1 now has evolved into a most enjoyable sounding speaker. My Linbrook Sigs. are going and i will be keeping the D1s. Will post more on my experience with D1 and how it won over LSS.

My D1's have around 200 hours on them, and are really moving from "good" to "extremely impressive", at least in my system. These have some of the most accurate bass I have heard (it doesn't sound big, just tight, just how a double bass sounds in real life), and an impressive, deep and wide, soundstage, while being full sounding, even driven with all solid state amplification. I might get a tube amp, however. I was looking hard at a set of 802D's (not that I could have afforded them at retail, but the dealer is a friend and had a demo pair if I wanted them) but the sound I am hearing from these at least equals, if not exceeds, what I was hearing from his at his store when driven by some nice Classe gears.

They still have alot of breaking in to do, as I am hearing audible differences every 25 hours or so of break-in. So far, heads and shoulders above the LSS, and alot of other similarly-priced speakers as well (I have been shopping around for a long time) I will try and post a review when I hit 300 hours. Size-wise, my room ended up being just fine for these: the sound is tight and accurate, not boomy, and really doesn't need a huge room. 12x12x8 feet won't work though!
