Tyler Decades Not much press but how good?

My wife wants the bigger ones, the D1's. So I'm calling Ty to place an order. No I'm not kidding. I was trying to talk her into the D2's!

I will evaluate and write a review once they are broken in. I know it'll take weeks to build and I still haven't decided on finish but I gotta say that the black ash vaneer with a light ash center panel along with the copper tweeter might look sweet.

Jfoundell, did you get you center and subs yet?

Delivery is scheduled for Thursday and I cant wait....I am worse than a kid at christmas time...I will post on Friday after I get everything settled and setup properly.

You need to give them a chance to break in - found with my Decade 3s that the treble and mid range were decent out ofthe box but the bass lagged behind, the speakers needed about 100 hours or so for them to comeinto their own, thebass gradually catches up along the way - my experience anyway

I agree, very nice guy to deal with...
However, the two models I've been exposed to, didn't offer a consistency of sound...that being, 'Here's what I think an Alto Sax sounds like', or (insert instrument) a basic musical truth that one generally finds in one brand.
For example, blindfolded, one would recognize Vandersteens when compared, (diff models) or THIEL's. For right or wrong there should be a 'consistency of tonal balance', i.e. this is what 'we think' it sounds like.

I haven't visited Tyler in a couple of years, in terms of products...and the stuff looks to be good value, with direct sales and all...just not sure that I'm sold on his version of the musical truth.
