Tyler Acoustics Decade D1, Cherry finish Relisted

Back on the market -- previous buyer had to back out. If you want to contact me directly, you can reach me at [email protected]. I am getting tired of the "Application Error" when I try to log in to Agon and respond to messages!

I am very reluctantly putting my Tyler Acoustics D1 loudspeakers up for sale. I have had them for about 2.5 years (1 year of that was in climate controlled storage while we were waiting for our house to be finished). They are in excellent condition with the exception of a hairline crack in the black finish that surrounds the center of the speaker (see pic below -- it looks like a hair on the finish, and I had not noticed it till I was taking pictures). These are simply the finest speakers I have ever owned (you can see my review of them here on Agon), and the first speakers that my wife said looks like a fine piece of furniture. Before I purchased them from Ty, I auditioned numerous speakers up to 15K and none of them moved me like these. These were the first speakers where I stopped 'analyzing' the music and simply listened and 'experienced' the music. In my room, they were flat down to the mid 20s, so unless you are an absolute bass freak, these are truly full range speakers.

If they are so good, why am I selling them? My wife and I have been fostering young children for the past couple of years, and that looks to be our calling in life for the foreseeable future. As much as I have fought reality, it is simply not practical to have several young children running around the house, playing in the same room as these wonderful speakers. I have been forced to move them within a few inches of the wall (the optimum setup in my room is about 4' from the rear wall) and it is simply a matter of time till there is an accident and they get dinged up. I seriously considered storing them, but I really do not know how long it will be till I could set them up again. So rather than storing them, I will let someone else enjoy them. They probably have about 1000 hours on them (I have not been able to listen to them much this past year) so they are fully broken in and, as I said, sound fabulous.

They are large speakers and will have to be shipped via freight. They will be packed in all of the original boxes/packing material. I am willing to drive several hours to deliver the speakers to save on shipping costs.

The speakers also come with magnetic grills and large, upgraded brass spikes.
