Default New "Minions" (TAD Reference 1 MkIIs) Incoming...

Good Day!

Count me in as one of the newest "Minions" (owners) soon on AA; thanks to Ivan I was able to move past active speakers with a great brand and speaker that I love and go decidedly upscale with a new pair of TAD Reference I MkIIs.

I look forward to them arriving sometime in early December and cannot wait to hear how they settle in here! Speaker cables will be Elrod Statement Gold latest gen with matching all-ribbon jumpers....

Thank you to all who gave me feedback during this hard decision period for me to choose my next, and most critical move for great-sounding speakers!

Congrats on the new speakers. I look forward to hearing your comments after you have them dialed in. Pictures are a must when everything is up and running.

Enjoy the music.
