Class D with Tyler Acoustics

I have a pair of Ty's D112's coming and am really excited. I am thinking about a new pre/power upgrade as well. Like most, my musical taste is eclectic. My room has been extensively treated. And normally my source will be lossless files through a reference dac.

Class D has been on my radar for a while; i.e., W4S and Bel Canto. (Gear like Rowland and others of that ilk are beyond my budget.) Anyway, I will no doubt do a lot of auditioning, but I would like to begin narrowing down my options. I know a few A A/B's that I intend to hear, but I was wondering if any of you have successfully paired your Tylers with class D? Especially the D110 or MM5?

Thanks for the suggestions,
Chip

Hey Chip,

Despite your reservations about your DIY abilities, you should definitely take the time to research the NC400 build. It is simply installing 2 modules in a case and adding AC, XLR and speaker connectors.

Look at diyAudio for details. The only soldering is to the XLR connector and the cases can be purchased ready-made and drilled. There are even competent folks there who can assemble it for you and you will still be under $2000.

I would be happy to elaborate and point you to the right info.

I have found that it is very satisfying to have a hifi component that you have "built".

I own a pair of Tyler Acoustic Woodmere II speakers. Mine are power hungry since they are mostly 4ohm...I have tested a few items along the way and settled with a Coda CSI integrated amp...I truly have enjoyed this aspect of the system for simplicity, although I do still have my Modwright SWL9.0 with the tube rectified power supply feeding into a B&K SS amp. The tube / SS amp combo is very nice as well and I have my setup able to quickly switch cables if I so desire. I would never think of buying any other type of speaker, I truly enjoy my woodmere's and even my wife thinks the same..I have also since moved to another house with a much larger room and these babies have really showed me a new light and sound...simply amazing

I'm a little late here, but I used Wyred amps (ST-1000, SX-500 and SX-1000 monos) on Tyler D1s and Linbrook SuperTowers with great success. I ran the amps directly from the Wyred DAC 2. I know of several Agon members that have also used Wyred amps and been very satisfied with them on their Tylers. But, as always, it would be best to hear it for yourself and see if it fits your individual tastes.
