Has anyone heard in depth the TAD-1 loudspeaker .


I listen to all types of music,particularly modern classical works.My preferences are inner detailand dynamic contrasts.Most current speakers being marketed are overrated in that they can usually play very loud,but,lose something in the way of real upper mid resolution.Avalons are very good here as are the Kharmas.The Avalons are supposedly a bit light in volume/dynamics although a good room placement could solve this.The Kharmas are just flat out overpriced(having just raised prices an additional 20%.)I know that the TAD-1 is a pricey design but seems to be the real deal.

I spent quite a bit of time with them. I was somewhat disappointed with the overall musicality. I thought that dynamics were very good, but, they lacked refinement.
sirspeedy, if you didn't see this thread, you might find it interesting.

The consensus seemed completely contrary to Jtinn's experience.

But I'm sure the fact that Jtinn doesn't sell the TAD-1's has nothing to do with his impressions ! :)
