When we swiveled the chairs around to listen to the TAD system, I was at first unimpressed. It is a different degree of room pressurization, staging and tonal balance and was just short of shockingly different. HOWEVER, after letting my ears adjust, I remember telling my wife that I could live with this system (TAD) for ever. It had an overall clarity and clear mid-range that hung in front of you. More staging effect than the Aida system. It's location in the room was a slight compromise with asymmetrical speaker to wall locations and did not go as deep as the Aida system but I found myself drawn into it. I can't imagine anyone not being very happy with that system.

Do you think the TAD system would benefit from the addition of JL subs? Also, if I remember correctly, I believe Ivan said at the time of the demo, the TAD system may not have had dedicated outlets yet. He has since added dedicated outlets though.
