Look familiar,these were my JBL custom 3 way horn system. Pioneer Corp will release a new high-end speaker TAD Reference One (TAD-R1) in early April aimed at audiophiles and professional musicians. Only very close offers will be considered. I can also say the mid range horn on these is the best i have ever heard. They are up on Sistrum stands and to me the stands I have them on bring the speaker up by 15/20. AJ is a great designer and this speaker has that classic TAD sound. I organised personally to have all these speakers moved from Japan to Australia and they are in a 9/10 condition and very rare to find here. Well I now have the Sex speakers from Pioneer/TAD and they are outstanding. I am in no rush to sell and any interested parties can rest assured I will do my utmost to make sure you are satisfied with all aspects of the sale before they depart. The items are currently in Carlton Victoria 3053 & due to corona-virus measures viewing at this stage will be impossible, until stage 4 restrictions ease around Nov 5th. The speakers are currently sitting on some JBL Studio stands (on castors) and strapped to them for safety with the blue strap you can see in one picture, these stands are not included in the sale. A music connoisseurs loudspeaker with world class fit and finish with commensurate build quality. Simply beautiful voicing, warm, airy yet resolving with plenty of low end extension and finesses. I will make a better deal for a forum member who has been here for a little bit.A pair of exceptional condition TAD Exclusive 2301 speakers, with optional ET-703 tweeters (not included in the sale but may be purchased at an extra expense (703s are very rare and cost almost as much as the 2301s themselves). TAD Evolution One floorstanding loudspeakers designed and voiced by the legendary Andrew Jones. The speakers are in fantastic shape with no flaws that I can locate. One Japanese audio magazine also rated the S-1ex's higher than the B&W 800s. The imaging is better with the TADs and they can easily be driven by a 200 wpc amp rather than 500+ watts are required by the power hungry B&Ws. I replaced a pair of B&W Signature 800's (B&W's TOTL) with these speakers and it was a move up in my opinion. The coaxial driver is combined with dual carbon fiber woofers in a cabinet that ranges from 1.25" thick to 3" thick (and is quite inert). I had a pair of single driver speakers and the imaging was similar, but they just did not have the extension and had coloratiosn that are not present in the TADs. They utilize a coaxial Beryllium tweeter and Magnesium coated midrange cone that image like a single driver speaker (but without the compromises of a single driver such as extnesion). Product: Pioneer TAD S-1EX Floorstanding Speakers Dark Teak Pair. The S-1ex are the top of the line in this series and received an A rating from Stereophile. These were designed by Andrew Jones of TAD to be a more affordable version of the TAD's very high end product (with a price tag of $12,000 instead of $70,000). Stereophile A rated floor standing speakers. The cabinets are also much nicer (as in inert and solid).Ĭheck out the TAD reference speakers, these are similar. Here is how I can describe it, they sound like single driver speakers but with top an dbottom extension and withotu the colorations. These are less dynamic than Klipsch, but they image better and are more cohesive (I Know, one of those words). For any of you who like single driver speakers, you will love these.
