The new TAD Evolution 1 CE1 is a floorstandee and on that the bass goes down to 25hrtz and I think it maybe a bit cheaper than this bookshelf but I maybe wrong on that

I think you have the base plate of the stands flipped 180 degrees. The pointy end should be at the.back. Gave me a scare that I had set up mine incorrectly!

@JilesMcCoy 3 ай бұрын

I did :) I like them so much that way though. But you are right, they are intended as you use them.

If you are reviewing an audiophile gear, you should disclose associated gear that you're evaluating the speakers with. You should also reveal MRSP on them. These are standard on all audiophile reviews. TAD makes one the finest speakers in the world and this is one of the least expansive models at a cool $33K USD.

@JilesMcCoy 8 ай бұрын

No, they aren't standard. As an example, MSRP changes quite often and calling out a MSRP has created far more issues over time than not calling one out. I have literally had hundreds and hundreds of people tell me a MSRP is wrong when they watch a video that is 1 year old. And during that time the price has gone up or down. Happy for folks to call it out in comments, but its not very valuable in the video itself.

A Switch? Why? Playing rap music to test speakers out is not good. I prefer the Beatles and Sam Cooke. That way you can better judge the mid-bass and stereo separation.

I understand they are truly top notch quality but their price is a bit baffling. They are so expensive as if TAD has a goal to limit the sales volume.

@@JilesMcCoy They are not just great Id say, they are probably in the 'greatest' territory but $30 k for bookshelfs is for the 1 percenters :) and thats what I was trying to say that the high price is not just reflective of high quality but probably to also keep them in the ultra high end territory.

@elderinmoi1571 6 ай бұрын

This measurements mean nothing. They just show how they sound in your room with this kind of speaker positioning and without spikes (what the h….). I bet you did not even exchange the jumpers with some that do the speakers justice. They should not have provided you with a sample when you are not running them properly. What is the rest of the system you played them with ? Maybe I missed that because I could not watch till the end but that is also important to know.

@JilesMcCoy 6 ай бұрын

Yeah, no way I’m spiking in hardwood floors. And of course I didn’t change the jumpers. That would be ridiculous in a test. And the measurements are very meaningful. Obviously they aren’t anechoic measurements… but none of us run speakers in that environment anyway.

@barrymiller3385 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for the review. There seems to be a lot of criticism in the comments about your methodology. Personally I think what you did was fine. You can only work with the equipment you have available in your own environment. When it comes down to it by far the mist important tools you have are your ears and your experience. The one criticism I would agree with is that I do believe that the associated system you used for the test IS important. Knowing that enables your viewers to draw more informed conclusions from your review. I have heard these and their predecessors several times now. If I could afford them these are the speakers I would buy!
