| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps More Shameless plugs:Tad hibachis are gone. I have stax phones and mhdt tube Dac up for sale now. I'd love to hear both with a set amp. If not in tested send me a set to try and I might end up keeping them both. 😉 | |
| Replacement drivers that ARE NOT NEW STOCK? Whether used drivers are worth it or not depends on how well they actually work and what are the alternatives. There is nothing inherently bad about the idea. It all depends. | |

| Chris Squire, Rest in Peace Very sad to hear that. The legacy of he and Yes should survive for quite a long time though I would hope. | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps The TAD Hibachis are a unique design. Take a look at the design aspects listed for them and you'll see. Tube Audio Design specialized in tube gear and the designer had a very devoted following. They do use some kind of tube in the power feed.I bou... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Heresy shmeracy. If it works it works. | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Running a set with a subwoofer verges on heresy I suspect. It's another step away from the pure ness of the set design. Not to say the results might not be quite good if done right. It would still seem to go counter to the norm for sets. Not that ... |
