Down side of speaker swop from AZ to Tonian Labs ?

I have heard both speakers and talked with both designers. You are ready for a change Wig which I think you will enjoy!
I am looking forward to hearing the Audiokinesis room at Rocky Mountain Audiofest , Denver Colorado this Friday. Duke's Room is on the Third floor and his products do sound good.

Guys,

Thanks for your advice and suggestions, much appreciated!

I have had VAC, Vitus, LM and Herron M1 Mono Amp and all were fantastic but Don Sach’s KT88 Amp is even more refined and sounds very lively and like actual instruments and produces bass much better than the 400+ Watts Vitus I had, which I could not believe...

I agree with Duke and nonoise, Tonian Labs speakers are very special. Each time I would listen to them the sound would amaze me, especially since Tony never used big name gear in his rooms at the audio shows.

Now I had the TL-D1s at the same time I owned Duke's Jazz Modules. I sold the TL-D1s and have not regretted that decision, because Duke is also right up there with the best speaker designers. Had I not had Duke's speakers I could have lived happily with the TL-D1s, or most likely upgraded to another Tonian Labs model.

Did you guys hear the model with the 12" or 9" drivers? Could possibly save money going with the 9" but curious on the frequency response between the two and a 9" version on this site recently closed with a buyer.

Thanks,
Wig
