    I was using the ate 2001 but just sold it. I plan on selling the monoblocks and other gear as well. Downsizing.

    Amplification options with TAD speakers

    Yes I have the Air Tight ATM 3011R monos (220 watts per channel) driving them and they have never sounded better. A spacious and textured quality that wasn’t there before.

    Anyone using Airtight ATM 211 to recommend?

    I’m the one with the pair of Air Tight ATM 3011R flagship mono amps. “R” version is newest one that takes KT120 tubes so even more powerful. Mint condition and comes with free new set of extra tubes. Darrin

    Shunyata DENALI

    Very helpful thanks. Makes me feel better about my 5 dedicated 32 amp lines I put in with upgraded wire. Will try Denali via music direct. Cheers.

    Shunyata DENALI

    Shunyata DENALI

    TAD on the cheap?

    I would like to get a pair to compare to my 100% Delrin custom stands -- only fear I have on the CP2EX stands is it will raise the tweeter way above my listening position.

    TAD on the cheap?

    Will Do Rob! And listened to my Magicos yesterday. They are a cut above the Pioneers for sure. I would say the Pioneers are at least on equal footing with my previous speakers, Maggie 3.7. But the S5 speakers recreate a live event and disappear and deliver at every frequency in a way that is...

    TAD on the cheap?

    Also reviving the thread. I had KEF LS50 speakers in my Bend Oregon home, driven by JENA Labs modified Marantz MA-9S1 monos, via Air Tight ATC-2 preamp (with NOS tubes), Audience and Cardas Clear cabling and JENA Labs PC/conditioner. My living room is huge and opens into a hallway and large...
