Re: how was the TAD room?

I was highly impressed, moreso than with the TAD speakers at past shows. One thing to keep in mind, though, was the source material used in the rather controlled demos. One was a CD from Boz Scaggs that is being mastered using TAD speakers, an advantage not shared with most of your other recordings. The other source was a highly modded Technics reel deck with a tube output stage. The material was some new reel tape that is recorded at 15 i.p.s., and sold (at very high prices, no doubt) on 2 10" reels per album. Again, most consumers, even if they can afford the TADs and the amps from MSB (also quite impressive), will be able to assemble a large number of this kind of quality source material. So, the TAD did impress, but it should have, considering how carefully every part of the rig, including the source, was selected.
