Tweaking TAD 300lb. plus Speakers

I'm thinking of a speaker upgrade. I'm a tweaker and like to move my speakers around every couple months for a different sound or look. I know weird! My current speakers are 100lbs and previous ones were 200lbs. I have/had both spikes on Herbie titanium Cone/Spike Decoupling Glider shown in my old setup. Since I have hardwood floors I was thinking of buying custom made wool rugs for the speaker to sit on flat so I can slide them around without concern of cow tipping them. Almost every photo I see has these speakers seating flat on the surface. Any opinions how to best tackle this dilemma. :afraid:

The system looks terrific and sounds fantastic, has a great soundstage . . . . and you need to regularly move them to different parts of the room because? ? ? ?

Save your back, leave them where they are and just listen to them.

Not regularly, just whenever I get the itch. But I do appreciate your concern.
 
TAD's are breaking in nicely. It's a crystal clear sounding speakers. I was a little concern that the bass would over take my room but that is a moot point. The bass does not exhibit one hint of bloat. The MSB S200 is doing a nice job but I wonder how much better the TAD M600 would perform with the extra head room. I notice no TAD owners own the M2500 or M600 probably for resale. But even though this is a 90db efficient speaker it exhibits the lusts for current.
 
Hey John, don't know how I missed this thread but a huge congrats on the speakers. That is one system that I would love to hear. I think you need mono's :)

John - this is great to hear. I would love to hear these speakers one day. They seem to just fit perfectly in your room too. So is it your opinion that the TAD amps really are best for the TAD speakers? It would certainly make sense....

I agree 100% head room always rule.

It's not my opinion but I'm sure it's TAD's. But I'm not ruling it out.
 
John,

Just like some amps sound better with their preamps, I think the M600's would be stellar on the Ref Ones.

Hey John,

Did you try darTZeel's 108 there? Joe loves his, with the TAD CR-1 :D
I'd try the D'Agostino there, before the TAD electronics...

The Ref Ones are even easier to drive than the CR-1's. I think it will knock him out.
