New Reference One Prototype on Display in Tokyo
New TAD Reference One unfinished prototype (left) shown at the 2018 Tokyo International Audio Show. It stands next to the current model. Not sure I am liking the new color but they look like they want to change things up for a new model. Perhaps they will still offer the existing color in the new model. I wonder what improvements they have in the works.tad10_thumb.jpeg

I’m sure they will find some way to improve it.

I don't know, I kind of like the more muted color....I think it would go well in a home/room with a more neutral color palette if you didn't want them to stand out.

Does the new model look a little bit bigger or is it the angle from the picture?
