My best friend has a set of Dale’s TLS-1s. To my ears they are the most natural, coherent, non-fatiguing loud speakers I’ve ever heard. Single driver with no crossover. And they’re capable of producing lows that could induce a bowel movement.

I’ve been chasing the sound of his system with traditional box speakers for years and haven’t really gotten close.

I’m on the edge of pulling the trigger on a set.

Two things.... they are not cheap, but this would be a lifetime speaker for me.

And most importantly, you cannot drive them to excessive levels. You will crush the driver like a beer can, which my friend has not done in the 11 years he’s owned them.

Cheers,
Joe

Nice to see Dale's stuff getting some mentions here. They are truly remarkable speakers. The thought of crushing those cones I admit is a big reason for me holding off. Although I mainly listen in the mid-70db range with mid-80db peaks.

But as i mentioned a good friend of mine has had a set of TLS1's for over 10 years now and hasn't crushed them yet. He listens to a lot of jazz, fusion, and Zappa. His room is about 15' by 12' I'd guestimate.
