TAD CR-1 ?


Please tell me your opinion if you've heard them. Have you owned them and moved on? Do you have them now? What amp/preamp are you using? What speaker are you considering to replace them?

Hi George,

I have, briefly and was very impressed. They are unlike any other speakers I've heard but I need a longer session to understand what I am hearing. The music just seems to hang in front of you.
Joe, I can only pull my speakers about a foot and a half from the front wall -- I'm assuming that since the TADs are front ported, that wouldn't be a problem?
Joeinid,

What amplifier are you using with your TAD speakers?

I have been wondering if the CR-1s would work with my Lamm ML 2.1 SETs. Thanks.

Regards,
David,

I think TAD recommends about 2 feet as a minimum. That's where I have mine. Yes, they are front ported and I think 18 inches will be fine. I'd have to try it at 18 inches and hear how it sounds.

Metralla,

I use a Dartzeel 108, CJ ART monoblocks, the Job 225, and a Carver Black Magic for fun. The Carver is a little underpowered but if you lower your standards a little, it can sound really good. I think the Lammms you have might be fine. The TADs are 86 dB at 4 ohms but a fairly easy load. The Job has me surprised. I am enjoying it more than any other solid state amp so far.
