I can't give you a direct comparison of the speakers you mention, but I did own the Tyler D1s for about 3 years. Fantastic speakers, and I only got rid of them as my wife and I started fostering small children, and the desire to 'push on those shiny things' made me sell the Tylers. They were in a loft area that is 35' x 15' x 8', so a fairly large room. The speakers meet your priorities (big sound -- very much so, accurate -- very neutral and detailed, but not sterile or dry sounding at all). As far as bass, they bass is extremely tight -- that is why I chose the D1s over the D10s (plus the $). In my room, they were flat down to 30 Hz, and had very useful bass down to the mid 20s (but bass response is very room dependent). I am a bass freak, but most often played the D1s without the sub.
One thing I might mention is that I also had the Marantz 7005 driving some Wyred 4 sound amps with the Tylers, and didn't realize for a long time that the Marantz was a weak point in 2 channel mode. I ended up getting a W4S DAC2 and ran it directly into my amps, and that was a huge step up in performance.
