Acoustic Zen or Tyler Acoustics or Dunlavy

Any thoughts?

I have the tyler acoustic decade d1 speakers, they are awesome, don't know much about the other speakers but the tylers perform well above their price range, in my opinion at least

I have spent the last three weeks auditioning speakers in the 5-30K range in Dallas and Denver. In comparing these speakers versus the Dunlavy SC-Vs, these sessions have led me to the following conclusion that most of these speakers do at least one thing better than the Dunlavys, but none of them do as many things well as the Dunlavys overall. I did not hear anything from the two companys you mentioned, but I did walk away with a confirmation that Dunlavy speakers are still relevant vs the best designs today.

For general listening, I don't think you can go wrong with any of your 3 choices. Critical listening is a different matter.

I have the Acoustic Zen Adagio Jrs with a sub. The ribbon tweeter is on the polite side. They're absolutely seductive with acoustic strings - piano, guitar, violin, cello, etc. When I think of big band, horns come to mind. With the Adagios, horns won't blast you out of your seat like some cone tweeters will. The trade-off is textured tonal quality. My only disappointment with the Adagios is that reggae music just doesn't have the PRaT that I'd like. Perhaps, the reason might be that they're driven by tubes.

I drive the Adagios with a 35w tube amp. The mid-bass has considerably more punch when driven by a SS amp of 200 watts or more. Yet, I'm totally happy with my Adagios. They are extremely responsive to all tweaks - electronics, cabling and platforms.

Of course, ymmv. Listen before buying is always the best advice offered in this forum.
