Tyler Decade D1s

Got my D1s this evening. A 400lb package at the local Yellow Fright trucking dock they just fit into my Pathfinder. Gotem home and with the help of the wife who btw has no problem with the size of D1s in our music room unpacked and temporarily set them up. At over 170lbs these baby's are heavy care is needed for you and the speakers. For now just sitting on towels.

Ty said he put 70 hrs on them before shipping to me. Will play them until i get 150 plus hrs on them and then use the master setup for placement in my room.

Right out of the box these big floor standers are so much better looking in person than pictures of them i've seen for sure. Built like a tank with 1 inch walls all the way around. The time delay design and shape already have caught my ears attention. No problem with bass with rear porting a concern i had.

After listening to 3 lps tonight i am impressed to say the least. I will hold my thoughts till i get at least 150 hrs. on them.

Have near 115 hours playing time now. D1s appear to have no problems with setup. I have not tried to get real technical with setup but dont think D1s will be difficult to get positioned. Making small moves for better listening and they are easily coupling into my large room very nicely.

I also put the spikes on at this time and can still slide them with small hard wood floor pieces and the towels beneath them.

Bass is really starting to bloom with a tight sound. Mid range has changed from its lean dry sound to a true life like sound. Piano and voice have real good timber. I'm starting to believe that timber is going to be one of these speakers high points.

The treble was on the hot side early and has also calmed down to the point of getting a little polite.

I am hearing very good air and transparency. The front wall is 20 feet across and its almost 30 feet to the back of the room and as you would think these big fine looking speakers are having no problem filling the room with music.

Will post more as the hours get logged in.

How big is your room? I hope I didn't make a mistake getting the D1's over the D2's. My room is a 15x24, 9 foot ceilings, attached to a rear hallway.

Dawgcatching you are not going to have a problem with room size with D1. Thats a big room big you have i would say. What your going to like is how D1 fills that room up with your favorite music though.

A real enjoyable night of music last night playing until the early morning of a new day. And carrying on later in this am is going to be a ditto as its Sunday with the Beatles.

Have a good one

All more than 230 hrs now and D1 now has evolved into a most enjoyable sounding speaker. My Linbrook Sigs. are going and i will be keeping the D1s. Will post more on my experience with D1 and how it won over LSS.
