T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components

+1 @garfield01  Always a pleasure when we find the right combination of gear we can live with long term. I'd love to hear the PA 3000 driving your TAD speakers!

I’ve been enjoying T+A for around 5 years now. I have a PA 3000 and PDP 3000 SACD/DAC which I have no intention of changing any time soon.

I’m in the uk and to be honest Tad isn’t that we’ll known over here but I needed a speaker that wasn’t to particular about positioning and placement as with some of the big names I tried like the new Wilson Sabrina’s which I really wanted to work but they over powered my L shaped open plan room, also B&W 802d’s and so on.

For me the Tad and T+A combo sounds so analogue, I’m currently using the Auralic  Aries g2.1 using the PDP 3000 HV Dac which is still an impressive  machine and I think a bargain if you can get your hands on one. For me what I’m trying to get across is I’ve tried all the cables, power leads Vitus and McIntosh 12000 when it first came out which again are all nice sounding units but as soon as I put my old system back together I fall in love with the T+A sound all over again and found for me the biggest change I made to my system was the Tad ce1 speakers.

It’s a frustrating expensive hobby always trying to chase that perfect sound but sometimes we need to just have a beer, relax and enjoy what we have ( till the next good revue comes out and feel the urge to start the process all over again )🙄😬

@garfield01 or @david_ten, Have either of you you heard the T+A MP3100HV SACD player? There was a dealer on the Audio Shark forum who said he loved the 3000 series disc players but felt T+A lost their way with the 3100 series disc players.

@tomcy6 I quit spinning discs a long time ago and have not followed the equipment nor the market. If you are considering one, and are concerned with that specific dealer’s feedback, I’d reach out to David Schultz / T+A USA ... I’ve found him to be direct and fair about how he positions various T+A components. He might be able to refer you to owners who are okay with being contacted.

Perhaps an owner(s) will offer their own comparative experience here (3000 v. 3100 series).
