Tyler Acoustics PD-80's arrived

I don't even know where to begin so I may jump around a bit, but here goes.

Tyler PD-80's with built in sub amps.
They are BIG, I actually felt intimidated.
They are HEAVY, you'll never move them around alone.

I don't claim to be an audiophile, but I do know what does and doesn't sound good to ME.

The sound is much better than I had imagined. I figured they would be great for loud listening, but I had no idea they would sound as good as they do at low volumes. Right now I am listening to Diana Krall and the Mcintosh is peaking out around 0.35 watts and it sounds absolutely fantastic. I am hearing sooo many subtle things I never had before.
As for loud, it is almost scary. Super tight punchy bass I never expected from 2-15 inch woofers. No boom no lagging just plain old blur your vision slam. The mids and highs are super clean and crisp and Ty was right the horn does sound more like a normal tweeter. I am not hearing anything harsh or anything else that shouldn't be there.

As for Ty of Tyler Acoustics, you've heard it all before, he's an awesome guy!!!

If any of you are in the Calgary area and would like a listen, you are absolutely more than welcome to contact me.

I had interest in many speakers. In no order here's a few.
Von Schweikert VR4JR
Silverline Sonata
Gallo Ref 3
Oskar Syrinx
Green Mountain Continuums
Tyler Linbrook Sigs
Krell Resolution 2

I guess the big reason for my decision to go with the PD80's was performance, I do listen loud. I have read that some of my other choices play quite loud as well, but I can say without hesitation the PD's would without a doubt BLOW them away. My PA system used to impress me, not any more.

I was hesitant buying such a high efficient speaker. Many members here claim the horn overpowers the midbass and bass creating an imbalance and I have also experienced this issue in the past. All I can say is Ty has dealt with the issue. These things are fast and the drivers work well together. For loud music I am totally satisfied.

As I said before they sound quite good at lower volumes as well, but you can't always have the best of both worlds. Ty has his other lines that excel in this category.

To answer how I selected Tylers. Ty has a huge following of
satisfied customers. If anyone has any interest in Tyler Acoustics CALL him. If you don't like them send them back and get a refund. HOW can you go wrong? The guy knows what he's got and he proud of it as he should be.

I haven't broken it to my wife yet, but I think next year I will buy a set of Linbrook Sigs as well. This way I can switch back and fourth depending on my mood. Speaking of the wife she's starting to freak out right now (I sit here too much)so I have to end it here!!!

Happy listening all
