    I am not sure but it looks really laid back.

    Onkyo Integra M504, Bottlehead Foreplay III, Denon SACD, Thiel CS2.3, NHT VT-2, VT-3 and Evolution T6, Infinity RSIIIa, SDA1C and a few dozen other speakers around the house I change in and out.

    Doubt it since it's a concentric driver up top. Thiel isn't the only one to use a cabinet, time aligned style array.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Pioneer. Looks like it might be in the TAD line?

    How about this one? If you know it right off the bat, hold off and let it get some folks to think.

    Eventually, name it but the next speaker is on you to post. Don't post new speakers until the last one has been indentified.

    Never seen that pair before but looking at the tweeter and mids it looks like some sort of ADS speaker. And a picture of Mark in a tuxedo.:biggrin:

    The TAD drivers are among the best currently available... and they cost like it, too.
    Dunno about the loudspeaker systems. I would guess, as Steve Culton used to say, that they do not suck.

    I didn't give the model but was first to name infinity, so petty.

    I had a friend that had a square tower from infinity that had a walsh tweeter.

    Correct. Great job Halo. Yes Rebuy, you did, so I'm crediting you as well, just not with a gold star and extra chocolate milk.

    I was thinking Canton. That's a phillips tweeter that DCM used also.

    Nope. A hint: They were made in New York.
