[quote user="Paul S"]OK, Romy, that EnABL stuff got my attention!I can't recall all of the bad ideas borne of good research, but this EnABL thing sounds a little fishy, and certainly it sounds too good to be true, as existing in a simple and really u...

Somebody "KCCT82" from Devil Audio site posted information about own installation.

Hello Romy,I didn't use John Hasquin's tapped horn design, I modeled my own in hornresp for my TAD woofer. I knew I would only need it up to ~55Hz so I was happy to have it flat from 23Hz-70Hz. The lowest crossover point for Behringer DCX 2496 is 20H...

Ralph (Cessaro) is in the process of manufacturing his own compression drivers, I have no details as yet, I believe the diaphragms will be beryllium not made by TAD.Also new and ready for release ,although not shown at Munich are double skinned carb...

Sounds as though you had a wonderful time. The Brinkmann room alternated between three tables, their 'La grange ' direct drive 'Oasis' and a balace with a 'Thales' tonearm, the Verity's use a ribbon tweeter Raal? Which in that undamped room was just ...

I am not "working backwards" from a tweeter. I presently use Harbeth M40.1s, but having recently heard the Living Voice Vox Olympian and an Audio Tekne horn implementation of Ale Acoustics drivers, the experiences opened up new vistas of what is poss...

I wanted to ask your opinion on wide dispersion horns, I am thinking particularly of the ( maple ) horns used in the TAD Exclusives ,early Westlakes etc, mostly studio monitor designs. I can see why a compact ,wide dispersion horn would be attra...

Well romy will probably disagree or maybe find it off topic but I am sorry there is huge margins built in somewhere if someone is trying to sell me wood cabinets with TAD drivers for 140k $. One of you guys can add it up for me and tell m...

There seems to be a lack of useful feedback on the actual sound quality of these oddball, relatively rare TAD mids. So I think it would be helpful to share some basic observations I gather after listening to them for a couple of days. I install these...

You could source used TAD tweeters for ~$1K pair .They sound exceptionally smooth and extended .More so than infamous T-350 and with better "tone" which may be relevant since your 288 are tonaly "dead" according to the Cat. Who knows, he may be right...

[quote user="Paul S"]Romy, no doubt the following derives wholly from my ignorance on the subject, but I have not been able to get away from a sense of "variable compression" with any compression horns I have tried. By "variable compression" I ...

Romy Hi, I have heard TAD drivers in several systems, and they have all quite different, depending obviously on configuration and implementation , everyone is different and have different 'ears' .If a pair of Gamma's finds their way to the US I...

I understand they still use TAD 703 and 4001. The 11" is from Supravox. No idea about the bass drivers. I liked this Cessaro demo much better than in previous years. ...

Romy Hi ,just a couple of things , in the Gamma there is another 1 inch TAD driver between the 4001 and the 703 , regarding the placement of the tweeter ,it is only recessed 3 or 4cm ,at a useable frequency range there will be negligible diffraction ...

.... available bass horns are the same to me and I customary discard them. I also care less about the price: I am talking about an interesting horn design but not about an interesting product to buy. The beryllium cones - yes I do not like them in TA...

[quote user="martinshorn"]The bass horn for the ak151 is housing a rear chamber slightly open, giving the injector channel - that creates a lot charme, flavor and „heart“ but also 3 dimensional projection. [/quote]I need to say that that very muc...

Paul, Do you have any experiance if the Pioneer PD-801? I am aware that it is the precursor to the Tad 2001 but I wonder what the differences are. (I picked up a single 801 by accident)Sorry Romy if this post is slightly off topic...op.9...

Greg, I see a regions of concerns that you might contemplate.
TAD 1201 might be good driver but how useable would be the 200/300-800/1000 range? Let pretend that you end up with 250Hz, then what next? You will introduce a bottom octave section but t...

No, I'm afraid not. I think the upperbass is perhaps some new production (Mike Harvey) 15" Vitavox Alnico item and I think there is a TAD unit behind the brass trumpet but I don't know which one. You'd need to ask. I think there are various options...

I think they could could make the sound more pleasant with an overkill of second harmonic distortion. But for people who prefer that kind of sound a relax-horn like Anima would be better anyway. No real solution. Maybe they should try the Radian alum...

Hi, I want to get inside a pair of Pioneer Exclusive TAD 2404. I have unscrewed the external crossover on the back panel and all the other screws including those of the two wooden crossbeams but the back panel does not budge. So I tried taking out th...

Romy Hi, which drivers should I be looking at/ listening to , friends of mine ( whose ears I respect ) like the TAD drivers, the GOTO and ALE are too expensive, I know you use the Vitavox, thanks in advance ,Keith....

Hm, I like the Cessaro thinking a few years back and I love it now. A very good move with this “Liszt” loudspeakers, even I am against the idiotic tendency to grand to the audio element the composers names. Take a look what Cessaro did. A tweeter, p...
