TAD with McIntosh?

[byZan]

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.

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.

So it might be!

Chalk and cheese, as the Brits say.

I'm not sure I understand this, but "Try and error" can be expensive

I plan on driving my CR-1's w/ Accuphase.

I think that is a really good combo

I've also have owned both but not at the same time. I would also say that using pre McIntosh 601 and the TAD's would be on opposite sides of the spectrum.

Excuse John Thomas, but I do not think I quite understand what you mean, so can you please explain.

What you are experiencing was what I was hinting to you with two articles. Opposite sides of the spectrum.

Hmmm....I dunno...not the pairing I would have in mind.
