    TAD'S with Beryllium diaphragms... GoTo drivers also comes to mind.. But speaker systems ? Can't think of too much.

    I'm with you AB.

    For the sake of discussion,

    TADS did nothing more for me than a less expensive set of Infinity's could.

    I never heard a GoTo but if I remember correctly they started with a Western Electric design and made it "better" by making each piece very precisely. We all know this is something the Japanese were famous for. I would have to ask how critical this could be. At what point does this precision make a difference? Altec could have polished their frames and used hand milled, prettier parts but would it really have helped?
    From the pictures they look like glorified Altecs to me.

    It's like having chrome valve covers. They look nice but wont make the engine run better.

    I'll stick with my Altecs.

    Just my .02 dB
