I have had the TAD Model One on and off for the past two years and presently own a pair. Early demonstrations using the Model One revealed great potential. Latter demonstations using electronics configuations yeilding greater lower level resolution truely bring out the best. At present I us a Pass preamp, Pass X600s for the bass ( 100Hz.) The digital to analogue converter for 44.1k material is a Pacific Microsonics Model 1 and high res. material off the hard drive uses a Pacific Microsonics Model 2, or Benchmark, or Genex converters.
Has anyone heard in depth the TAD-1 loudspeaker .
I listen to all types of music,particularly modern classical works.My preferences are inner detailand dynamic contrasts.Most current speakers being marketed are overrated in that they can usually play very loud,but,lose something in the way of real upper mid resolution.Avalons are very good here as are the Kharmas.The Avalons are supposedly a bit light in volume/dynamics although a good room placement could solve this.The Kharmas are just flat out overpriced(having just raised prices an additional 20%.)I know that the TAD-1 is a pricey design but seems to be the real deal.
