Anyone have experience with Tyler Acoustics PD30?

I really like Ty, talked with him yesterday about his speakers and he offered to make me the PD30 if I wanted.  Had never heard of them before but these are his horn speakers.  I've had cornwalls and still have a pair of heresy 1's.  Not a dedicated horn enthusiast but do like a well-done one.  Don't need the ultra-high efficiency, my cherry class D amp is plenty powerful to drive pretty much whatever I want.

Since he doesn't submit for reviews and doesn't "encourage" online enthusiasm ;) like some other companies, it's tough to find information on his speakers.

It's really between his PD30, Highland H3.5 (a bit more expensive), or used Tekton Double Impacts.  I think if I wanted to try the Tekton I would have a better chance of getting my money back if I didn't like them and wanted to resell.  Budget is $2,800-$3,800.

Any advice is appreciated.

I've always been curious about those speakers and their big brothers, but there's nothing much out there to read about them.
If you are looking into them, you should also look at JTR speakers.

A couple years ago an audio friend bought a pair of Tylers as they were having some type of weekend reduction sale..he sent them back before i had a chance to hear them...or actually drove them back as we are close to Kentucky....i would strongly suggest listening before you buy or make sure there is a return policy in place.

Would love JTR but not willing to spend the money they want, I still don't get how they cost that much for a big black box speaker with fairly simple drivers.
