I first spoke with Ty last year when I called him and requested that he whip up a demo pair of Tyler Taylo Reference speakers for our Great Northwest GTG. I found Ty to be a true gentleman of the hobby, and generous to a fault. He worked overtime through his busy schedule to build, burn-in, and ship a wonderful pair of "GNW-GTG Special" Taylo speakers for us. These monitors were superb performers, not to mention great lookers.

(More can be read about the speakers and the event...here is the beginning of the audition review, starting with post #95.

During the many subsequent discussions I had with Ty, he paid much homage to Danny for his substantial contributions to Tyler speakers and frequently praised Danny's tremendous design skills.
I would really love to hear the D1's!
