Gonna be a good weekend

Speakers arrived today on a pallet…..
Got them unpacked and used my sound anchor stands…really nice looking bookshelf speakers…. Build quality is excellent…
Glad I have a subwoofer, as these benefit greatly with one….crossed over at 80hz, and can reach a nice volume…
Powered with a MAC MC452…..liking the sound very much…
Highs are very articulate… mids clear… bass could be stronger…. But it’s not a large speaker…that’s why you need the sub….. it rounds out the sound very nicely….

This is the second set of speakers I purchased unheard….
I have heard the Evolution 1 …. So I was a little familiar with the TAD sound…
Also unheard , and purchased were the Alta Audio Celeste FRM 2…Nice speakers, but not the speakers for me…. They did produce a lot of bass, but overall, to me, not worth the money…. The Celeste FRM2 were returned….
The ME1 are keepers…..very happy with them…

Congrats. Let us know as they burn in.

Mike O & Low325 - wondering about your current thoughts on your TAD ME-1s. Have they broken-in well for you? I see that Shelly40 is driving them with a McIntosh MC452 (450wpc) and I'm wondering what amp(s) you might be using with your ME-1s? Wondering if my 50wpc of Class A into 4ohm would drive them well. I generally listen at low levels, so no need to push the speakers hard.
Thanks for your thoughts.

While I realize that the MC 452 is probably overkill for the ME1, they do sound fantastic….
Have 2 JL Audio F112 subs for the low end…
At the levels I listen at, the ME1 needs a sub….
I had some friends over the other night, and they were astounded at how my system sounds….They were impressed with how clear and balanced the sound was, even at loud listening levels….

I was actually thinking of trying a tube amp with them…..
Either the PrimaLuna EVO 400, or an MC 275…
If anyone has any input about those amps, it is appreciated…

Thanks
Shelly

Shelly - you should become a subscriber. There is a great deal on a highly rated tube amp in the classifieds that would be a good start to try tubes. Plus, I'll be listing mine shortly, which I also think very highly of. But, without being a subscriber you can neither communicate with other members (except thru posts) or view the classifieds.
