Don't blame the TADs. It's all the horns and/or implementation that results in bad sound (if any). TAD components are about as good as it gets, better than JBL generally in terms of engineering and build quality. Bert Locanthi, the brains behind many of the JBL designs from the golden age, went to Pioneer to start TAD. They basically gave him carte blanche to do what he wanted, which was what JBL could have been if they had the funds and dedication. (IIRC).
That said, I've never been partial to the CAR speakers, they always sounded edgy to me.
Is Josh showing at RMAF? He's been working on some pretty impressive field-coil drivers.
