TAD Speakers

Nice post, wretnuh2. I don't see me ever affording the newer models, but am quite happy with the ME-1's. Excellent, tight bass and mids. I have no problems with the highs being sharp or fatiguing, and I am pretty sensitive to that. Again, the addition of my new amp was quite an eye opener. Great speakers! 

I am always on the lookout for a worthy upgrade to my KEF Reference 1’s. The consistently glowing reports for TAD speakers keep them on my radar. I have not had a chance to hear them, and am unlikely to spend that kind of money on a blind upgrade. Does anyone have experience with KEF and TAD, and can you comment on how they might compare?

@wretnuh2 Congratulations on your TAD acquisition! May I ask you which electronics you'll be pairing with them?  (Nice name, BTW.  Backwards "hunter").

Due to space/WAF/heat issues, and a great listen to a friend’s system, I’m getting a Bel Canto Black EX amp.  I still use the system for movies about 20% off the time, and have a growing guilty pleasure for some Dolby Atmos mixes. So starting out with an Anthem AVM 90 for processing.  If there’s any 2 channel concerns I’d then add a different pre and/or a stand alone DAC.  Any wisdom on this strategy is welcome.

Giantsalami, everything I’ve read says the sonic signature of the ME1 and CE1 is very very close, and tuned with a great sub it’s even closer.  I’m jealous of the time you’ve had with the ME1. So much fun!

@wretnuh2 again, congrats and enjoy!
