Tyler Decades Not much press but how good?


I may be in the market for some full range speakers. Looking at Revel Studio 2's and Eggleston Andra's but I am intrigued with these not so often reviewed towers.

What I have read from owners was a very consistant thumbs up across the board. That is, the talk about the Decades sonic attributes was the same from owners and all very good. The only pro review I found was for there top-of-the-line $13.5K monsters.

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.
I bought D1's Decade Center D3's and 2 Decade Subs. I will take delivery next Friday. I will post my evaluation then. I will say that Ty has been very easy to work with. I am putting all this in a 15x20 dedicated room.
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!
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!
I love them but unfortunately I had to leave them as I am back in Iraq. I got to play with them for 2 weeks however I didnt get alot of play time on them as I had company the whole time I was home. They still need alot of hours to fully break in so hopefully the kids will use the media room and get some hours on them before I return home. I did just pick up a custom set of Tyler on walls for the side surrounds. So far even not fully broken in they are the best speakers I have ever had and or listened to.
