Post Subject: Ah, the TAD PT-R9!Posted by Romy the Cat on: 10/20/2006

Thanks Gregm.

It is interesting that I completely forgot the TAD PT-R9. I was looking at it 5-6 years back and spoke with AudioKinesis ‘Duke, who reportedly knows them well. My reservations that time were the very same as now: with 97.5 dB/W sensitively I would need 3 of them per channel and with a price of $1000 per pair it is … kind of heavy.., also I generally am not a big TAD fan, sine I tried the TAD 2001 and TAD 4001 and know what kind syntactic garbage people mend when they admire the TAD drivers.  However, nowadays I have a different demands then 5-6 years back and who knows: perhaps one single PT-R9 will be able to be driven by a SET and perhaps the PT-R9 does not sound as the rest TAD drivers. After all it is not a compression driver with beryllium cones…. Anyhow, I never heard them. Perhaps it would be good opportunity to learn how they sound. I will borrow this Sunday a pair of PT-R9 from a local guy and will try. It should be an educational….Still. it would be nice to try an array of 3-4 of them…
