See the complete review for the TAD ME1 Stand-Mount Speakers.
Like the other speakers in the Evolution series, the ME1s are equipped with a 16cm woofer and 9cm Coherent Source Transducer (CST). The concept of having the tweeter inside the mid-range is similar to what KEF speakers use in their co-axial drivers, though with a different design and composition. This type of transducer provides a single point source for the sound when it reaches the listener’s ears. The tweeter is made from beryllium for lightness and rigidity, which greatly enhances imaging and sound quality. An interesting feature is the bi-directional Aero-Dynamic Slot (ADS) on each side of the cabinet that acts as a port for natural deep bass from their compact size without port noises. The 16cm woofer is made from Aramid fabric and non-woven fabric that is formed separately then laminated together into what TAD calls a Multi-Layered Composite Core (MACC) which is said to reduce coloration and provide better linearity.

Frequency response is claimed to be 36Hz to 60kHz with a sensitivity of 85dB (2.83V at 1 meter). They also sent me matching stands (TAD-ST3-K) that the speakers bolt onto. The stands were about 150 pounds, and they provided a super stable and inert platform (some assembly required…). You have two color choices: black or silver. Look for my full review here soon.
