Hi, Gerard...

I personally have not, but believe Widget has in his movings about. I think he was quite impressed with the Model-1 (shown), but we need to get his review.

I know he quite liked the newer "Reference One" at CES this year - but that is another story...

[Mr. Widget]

Does someone had any experience with Tad model 1 reference monitor and how does it sound compared to the 250Ti and 4343 .
I have heard them two or three times. In my opinion they are among the very best speakers ever produced.

Let me use a car analogy.

I'd say the 4343 is like a late 60's Camero Z28... incredibly exhilarating performance and a tough muscular look, but perhaps not the ultimate statement in absolute refinement when it comes to neutrality, imaging, and refined sound.

I'd suggest that the 250Ti is like a late model Corvette. It also offers exhilarating performance, though it is better balanced and offers better imaging and an over all more refined performance and look.

I'd suggest the TAD Model One like the Astin Martin V12 Vanquish offers ultimate performance, grace, refinement, and elegance at an extremely high price point, but if you can afford it... it is well worth it.

[Mr. Widget]

Thanks Juergen. I almost added the Enzo-Everest comparison to the list... but since Gerard hadn't asked I decided not to.... but I see you got my drift.

I guess the point is... no one of these cars is a Yugo (Yugoslavian built Fiat) and none of the speakers is a Bose. They all have something else to offer and they are all worthy of praise.

I must confess to liking the Aston. Sharp, but classy.

Good analogies, :D

[rs237]

I was perhaps too fast. There are perhaps still better cars.

[scott fitlin]

Im not too picky, Ill settle for the Aston.

:D

[gerard]

Well ,

This is more what I think about the 4343 ....
But I am more European Style ....

Gerard

[scott fitlin]

I dunno Gerard, that car looks kinda B & W 801 to me.

[edgewound]

As long as we're doing analogies:D



Rambo....Walker,Texas Ranger...Bond....James Bond


JBL 4343...... JBL 250Ti ............TAD Model 1

I think Widget got it right the first time.

[gerard]

Ok

let's go for this 4343 with a 2397 horn .

GerardI dunno, looks more like some of that Altec Voice of the Theater stuff, maybe a JBL 2395 ontop?

"like the Astin Martin V12 Vanquish offers ultimate performance, grace, refinement, and elegance at an extremely high price point, but if you can afford it... it is well worth it."

You have one or driven one?

[Maron Horonzakz]

Heaps ! All heaps ! none can compair to my 55 Nash Metropolitan.;)

Pictures- we want PICTURES of the Nash!
also - gotta include images of you in your Columbo style raincoat ...

[Maron Horonzakz]

But but I dont have anything on under my Columbo style raincoat...But i think i would look cool in that Aston Martin...Smoking a pipe, 007, Tux. :D

[Mr. Widget]

"like the Astin Martin V12 Vanquish offers ultimate performance, grace, refinement, and elegance at an extremely high price point, but if you can afford it... it is well worth it."

You have one or driven one?Come over and I'll give you a ride in mine....

Of course not! I've never driven any of the cars pictured or owned any of the speakers mentioned, but I think everyone else was able to get the gist of my analogy.


Widget

[Mr. Widget]

Here's one for you Tom.

I'd suggest the Altec model 19 is comparable to this muscle car. It has really good acceleration and is loud as hell. ;)

No, never drove one of these either.:D


Widget

[scott fitlin]

Gawd, I remember that lime green color too. WTF were we thinking about?

I never drove the Aston, either, but I would get one if I hit the mega-millions!

:D

[Zilch]

I'll give Widget a ride in the Zilchmobile.

But I won't let him drive it, nope

[There is no analogous speaker worthy of mention.... :D ]

[Storm]

Okay, so what does my 846B's compare to in the car world?

:)

-Storm.

[macaroonie]

:p

:applaud:

How 'bout this?

Sporty with decent power...a widetrack.

[scott fitlin]

Yeah, but you know him? He`ll be like it doesnt have beryllium pistons, if it only had DEQX controlled steering, you really do need a JBL suspension for better low end handling, and a flatter response in the ride. :dont-know

Im just sayin. :bouncy:

[Flaesh]

is this (both is mine) comparable? :D

[hjames]

is this (both is mine) comparable?
Sad to say, but both Scott Fitlin and Zilch have passed on since those posts ...
