Bookshelf Speakers — TAD TAD-ME1TX-G

The TAD-ME1TX-G is a bookshelf loudspeaker from TAD, built with notably high sensitivity and a modest maximum amplifier-power requirement. The TAD-ME1TX-G brings TAD's considered coaxial driver engineering to a compact stand-mount format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response spans a wide 36Hz to 60,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Sensitivity is a comparatively modest 85dB into a demanding 4 ohm load, with recommended amplifier power specified as under 150W. At 25.4 x 41.1 x 40.2cm and 21kg, the TAD-ME1TX-G's considerable weight for a bookshelf design reflects TAD's serious internal driver and cabinet engineering.

Sound and use context

Expect the coherent, point-source imaging character TAD's distinctive coaxial driver technology is broadly known for, with the wide 36Hz-60kHz bandwidth reflecting careful driver integration.

Pairing

The demanding 4 ohm impedance and under-150W ceiling calls for a reasonably capable amplifier with genuine current delivery.

Alternatives

TAD's own COMPACT EVOLUTION ONE CE1TX offers a more accomplished alternative with an even wider bandwidth within the same broader compact catalogue.
