Experiencing TLS1s a couple of years ago at Axpona remains one of my most memorable audio highs. BUT... even in a smallish hotel room Dale would not play them at higher than moderate volume. It probably doesn't matter, as I don't reach 90db anymore in my system. This approximates the SPL of a lawn mower. My main concern is possible destruction from a transient pulse such as an accident with a phono stylus. Maybe a sub with an active crossover would an acceptable workaround, albeit antithetical to the single-driver crossover-less time and phase coherent Walsh design.
