I just went back and re-read trioderob's post a couple of levels above, and he metions TAD 2001 as a reference midrange driver.In a blind test, an all-TAD (2001 and 1601C) Summa prototype was bested by an all-B&C Summa prototype. Though I didn't participate in the test (I was behind the curtain shuffling speakers), I also preferred the B&C version. The crossovers were optimized for each prototype. Using TAD drivers had been my idea, and I was quite surprised they didn't sound as smooth as the B&Cs, and the difference was mostly in the compression driver region.
