Tyler Acoustics D20 vs. D1 vs. D10

Hi,
I am looking to upgrade my main listening / viewing space. Currently I have a Marantz 7005 driving a Sherbourn 5/1500A (200W/ch into 8 ohm)into a set of Dahlquist DQ20s. I purchased the D20's 13 years ago for my stereo set up, but then they became my front speakers in my home theater setup.
So, I have a large room (25 by 30 by 25 room open into a larger open floorplan), and I would like to upgrade both my HT as well as my 2 channel audio.
I am looking at a number of different options, but I am very interested in Tyler Acoustics currently. In particular, I am curious to hear opinions from anyone who has heard both the D1 and D20's. I've searched and have found very little info on the D20's.

Regards,
Gary

As I'm using a pair of Rythmik subs even in 2 channel audio, I prefered the D1's. If you are not going to use subs, go with the D10's

Hi,
Just to follow up on this, I ended up purchasing a set of D10's with powered woofers from Ty. I am very happy with the purchase. They are big, but they do an excellent job of filling my large and far from optimal listening and viewing space with full range audio. I may add subs eventually for additional visceral low end; although, I'm not sure it
s really necessary. As it is, you can hear the lower frequency ranges throughout most of the house (through multiple floors/walls) when I am watching movies.

I have a pair of D10s, filling a huge space, similar to yours, and they simply
disappear with brilliant imaging and soundstaging, great bass and no need
for a sub. Couldn't be happier with them. And they are only driven by a
Thor Class A 30 WPC amp, yet because of their 91 db sensitivity and easy
8 ohm impedance, have never run out of power. You also get to deal with
Ty, who is unquestionably one of the best people in the stereo business.
