Tyler Decades Not much press but how good?

I forgot to ask, what amp and preamp were used? Tubes and warm to neutral solid state seem to best match Ty's speakers IMO.

My friend had a Berning Tube amp at the time...no pre amp, just running direct...as I said it's been a couple of years back. He may have been using a pre, memory fades.
Overall, the Berning, very well respected if not to my taste. That amp sounds underpowered, not dynamic in contrasts and sort of a watercolor version...washed out, versus a Monet.
There, I've managed to insult two companies in one post.

Well I got everything delivered on Friday. Excellent packing great delivery no damage. I got everything setup and it sounds great out of the box but they still need time to break in. The subs are the best I have owned so far. Being servo controlled they are really tight and setup was a breeze. I am running all this with Sunfire gear. I also changed all cabling to Verastarr and Neotech so the cables might have some break in time as well. But overall the sound is amazing!

JFondell, keep us posted. I'm ~5 weeks away before I'll smell mine.

Regarding tone, I left myself some adjustment in that regard. With the cross-overs outboard, I'll have access to the caps and wiring.

I have no preamp so my current setup takes a phono preamp or a PW Dac straight to a Pass Labs 350.5. Swapping cable is painful, especially due to my employment of a sub (which just broke :( )

So an Audio Note L3 kit is on my radar. This will give me some amount of control over parts quality and tonal adjustments (and just plain fun) over the D1's.

Ty is just so down to earth it's scary. I might have ordered his speakers even if they were crap just to support his business.

Damn Larry your tough...LOL ;)
