I did audition the ML 585 on TAD Compact Ref 1, did not like it at all.But the ML 585 is obviously an Uber integrated, very nice build quality.

thielisteI have heard the TAD floor-stander ($30K model) with Pass Labs and Parasound electronics and did not enjoy the "sound" as well. IMO, it is an over-priced speaker, especially, compared to a Thiel. Over on other Audio forums, several guys are using Mark Levinson gear both new and older, in their systems.I look forward in reading more about your auditions.Happy Listening!
