    Order it for $69 and try it out. (I think the sale is over though).

    Resell it on Craigslist if you don't like it. It's not the first or last speaker to use a crossoverless design. The problem is not the full range drivers, the problem is the tweeter with no crossover. That's asking for harsh treble.

    TAD speakers are a Chinese brand, IIRC. Ricardo had a pair of the bookies at the Bloomington PF in '07 and they sounded alright. Nothing to write home about but certainly worth the low cost and still sounded better than anything BB carries.

    Cambridge 540c v2 CD Player $329 Free Shipping

    Cambridge 640c v2 CD Player $429 Free Shipping

    http://dedicatedaudio.com/inc/sdetail/21593

    Apparently CA is discontinuing the 640c v2 because they think it sounds too crappy, and are releasing a 650c to replace it. Looks like a good deal on something which will hold it's value for a year or two.

    Don't confuse the above TAD speakers with Pioneer's TAD speakers....Pioneer's TAD speakers are no-holds barred assault at speaker performance priced at $50,000-$60,000/pair.
