Tyler Decades Not much press but how good?

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 ;)

So JFondell, they look great but how are they sounding? We need to know :)

well I still need more hours on these. I am playing them now and they sound great! Still a little bright at high volumes but very very clear. I put up 3 acoustic panels today so that helped and I am also waiting on some special order brass spikes for the subs and the speakers so I cant really do a full evaluation until everything is in order. I went from Mirage OM9's to these so its a total different design but I will say the soundstage is wide and deep, I do not think they over power the room bass is tight and controlled and the midrange is excellent. There is not a bad seat in the room! I will comment further when they break in more but for now I am loving what I am hearing!
