If those Pioneers are anything close to the TAD speakers in sound quality you have made a great choice, imo. I hope you will be thrilled with them. I think Andrew Jones is one of those great speaker designers who can make stunning high end speakers and best-value speakers for others. Years back the TAD models he designed, that I heard, were superb. Hearing them was an impression made, never forgotten. Have fun with your S1s and let us know! |
Well I have owned a lot of high quality audio equipment over the last 40 years and there is much I do not know. One thing I do know for sure is that speakers are a very personal perception and no two people hear the same. That said, the room also has a major impact on speaker sound and presentation. I live in SW Michigan and some time ago I consigned two pair of speakers to Misfitz Audio in GR. One pair of Klipsch Palladium P17Bs (light oak) in very good condition (with stands) and one pair of B&W CDM 9NT in rosewood in mint condition. At this point I have not talked with the owner in many months but last time we spoke they had not sold and COVID was making life difficult. Not sure if the store is even still in existence but there are two great pair of speakers you could actually listen to! Joe D’ |
