Down side of speaker swop from AZ to Tonian Labs ?

Guys,

I have had my Acoustic Zen Crescendos for 5 years and love them but with the type of music I typically listen to, Cello, Acoustic Guitar and Violins, wondering if this make sense for a tube based system. Tonian Labs are more efficient and from what I have heard/read are they are much more transparent but hopefully that doesn't mean forward or bright.

Let me know what you think and my components are updated under my virtual system.

Thanks,
Wig

I think I may be the guy you sold your TLD-1s to.  They were actually a modification of the TLD-1s (MkIII SE) special edition.  I bought them unheard in a storage lot.  I still have them.  I'm driving them with a Woo Audio SET.  With the right music (string instruments, drums) they are magical.  With some music they can get a little "shouty" (some vocals and some recordings).  I think the thinner maples sides help them to resonate like a guitar.  Not selling them back!!
