I got the TAD 2001 drivers yesterday and had a chance today to change out one of the Eminences in the Martinelli Wood Horn in favor of the TAD. Actively x'd over at 1k from the woofer in a Pi Stu 2, the combo sounds freakin' awesome. Much sweeter than the Eminence coming in at 1200-1600 in the same horn. (Should be for the difference in cost!) TAD tweet in a woodhorn is a gorgeous combo.
Now if I could just get my schedule under control so I can get the assorted drivers to Garland's! Maybe this weekend . . .

Thanks for writing your impressions. Those TAD drivers are really sweet, aren't they?
Just like hot rod car stuff, speed is directly proportional to investment so you can go as fast as your wallet allows! Of course there's always the issue of knowing where to spend the money to get the most out of your investment. In sound systems, the weakest link is almost always the speaker transducer, so buying quality motors is undoubtedly the single most important determiner of sound quality.
All that to say that I think you've put together the right stuff to make an outstanding loudspeaker system! I wish I could be there to see and hear it, so please post photos when time allows.
Thanks! Not especially deep impressions, at that, just recognition of a couple very strong elements working together.
I will certainly post pix of the system when it comes together. Actually, I may post a pic or two of the Franken-systems I've "assembled" just to get the feel of the drivers and active x so far. Amusing, if nothing else.
Have some Pi after the turkey, guys! It's the best part of Thanksgiving dinner, I think!. ;-)
