Ive just in the last week or so been fortunate enough to have in my listening room a pair of TAD R1s and WOW what a speaker!! I was told the Absolare probably wouldnt have enough grunt to drive them and obviously I dont know that but Im extremely pleased with both the Absolare Signature Integrated and the mighty TADs.
I think my integrated came with French tubes [from the 60s] also
