and especially "perfectionists" markets like Germany. Sound is of a secondary importance. I bet the new driver from Cesarro will be field coil driver because that's what peoplewant NOW. They want "the best" and field coil is now the best. Roman , something tells me that you did not experiment with Tad (4001)driver at all simply discharging it after a short trial. It is totaly unsuited to tractrix horn and works  in 350-2k range. To use it like Cesarro did (if their horn is tractrix ) is  simply a bad idea and would probably require a tricky filtering and still is probably dead sounding. Kevin Scott with his Pinokio nose horn found maybe optimal solution for TAD driver.Rgrds, W

I am not sure that Cesarro will go for field coil. I do not know how they think and what they are trying to accomplish. It very much might be field coil, juts because field coil is less expensive to make and more profitable to market. Neither field coil or new perm driver has no assurance or indication about the sound that it does, so there is no reason to speculate about it. The fact that Cesarro do want to departure from TADs is a good sight in my book but the new Cesarro driver might be even worse than TAD or to take Cesarro to the direction that might be wrong. Right or wrong – who knows? I am not intimately familiar with Cesarro in order to predict this next move.

About your defending TAD. Yes, you are correct I experimented and discarded with TAD after short trial and then only heard TAD in numerous installations of other people. As now I would not trust to myself 10 years back (when I was dealing with TADs myself) and I do not feel that other people who use TADs did get the best from TAD.  Why do I say it? Become I do want that anybody feel that my disregard of TAD shell mean anything. It is not about passing judgment but about an individual be able to accomplish what he is want to accomplish with sound unit this or that driver. If you or Kevin Scott, or whoever else were able to be happy using TADs than good for you guys. Any driver, absolutely ANY single driver requires working with it. You feel that you made TAD to work for whatever you were trying to achieve? I only appreciate it and I wish you share your experience and your objectives.
