Hi everyone, this is the first time I post on this Forum. This forum helped me a lot during my journey of the HIF I always looking other members reviews and thoughts on gears. Since I will spend more time in California and build my second system here in US, I decided to share or do some recaps on my system or HiFi journey in mainland China. I bit of personal back ground about HIFI, I spend most of my childhood in audio store which my father owned, he carry of Some HIFI brand (form I can remember such as Music Fidelity/ Kimber cable/ SONY/JBL/Pioneer………)ins my small home town city. but the during the late 90s the economy and the home audio market downsize our family closed the store moved into others things. But I have been always love the HIFI and the music until today LOL. I spend most of my HIFI time on in ears and headphones during my school years. Some of them i still own today such as TF10/ IE8/ HD600/ HD800/ Ab1266/STAX 007. After I got my apartments, I find out i have a Roon about 2.8m X 4.3m can be set up as my audio room. I got a book shelf speaker setup as my first speaker system. I played a lot of book shelf in that roon start with a used dynaudio DM 2/8 with some DIY tube integrated and later on moved to a dynaudio contour 1.4 LE drive with the McIntosh, my journey with dynaudio end with the dynaudio confidence c1 platinum. For two-way book shelf they sound amazing but in deep my heart I always wanted to try the three-way big book shelf or floorstanding speakers. So I tried the MBL 126 but i think the McIntosh AMP are not work will with the MBL126. And during that time I am tired of speaker-amp matching “Game” so I went a different route end up with a MSB DAC link to a Quest v3110 which is a active Pro-Speaker. After I spend a year on this set up I started to listen a lot of classical music and I also went to a lot live concert. I find out the “limits“ on my Pro-Speaker set up for pop/ jazz/vocal music the v3110 did great job. But for classical music it is lacking the base/treble extensions and the harmonics of real instrument. Luckily during a business trip to Shanghai I visited a lot audio stores I auditioned the TAD ME-1 speaker. I am amazed how good it is for a little three way book shelf. So it all begins ………..I moved to large roonIt is about 3.8m X 9m Very large, And I just went cray-cray about TAD speakers because I lIke the super transparent sound they offer me. So I started to move up the line bought the CR1MK2/CR1TX end up with the R1TX.
I think I will talk about this “TAD madness “ of journey under the TAD section. And I had up loaded some video about my system on YouTube
Last, I just want to thanks everyone on the forum, you guys helped me a lot in my journe. Ps. The system in CA will be build up on a von schweikert VR55MK2 (just ordered it thought my local dealer will show up within 3 months) another very good speaker I will talk about later.
