TAD with McIntosh?
Hello!
I wonder if anyone TAD owners have experience of how they play with McIntosh electronics? The reason is that I've heard TAD along with several other brands, and it has always sounded good, so I think they also do with McIntosh, but I'm curious about your experience, because I have McIntosh myself and would love to have TAD before I not hear the difference between good and less good recordings. When I still managed (open to debate) write in English so I can take the opportunity to ask about what cables you use. / byZan |

Given that TAD's are fairly decent and McIntosh is also fairly decent, I'd speculate they'd sound rather decent together.
Though I've owned McIntosh in the past and currently own some TAD drivers, I've never heard them mated together. Kind of like being invited to a 3-way and you're being asked if you want a blonde, brunette or a red-head... in the final analysis, the experience might be good regardless of the ingredients. |

Hmmm....I dunno...not the pairing I would have in mind.
Chalk and cheese, as the Brits say.
