ppsa Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Item: TAD Horns Price Range: Above market range Item Condition: Used Extra Info: Looking to get into the world of horn design speakers after auditioning friends setup and immediately hook up and intoxicated. Local pickup(Victoria) is ideal but happy to travel and arrange shipping by myself. Please let or educated me know if you have anything in mind.

Analogsound Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I have heard all models of the Exclusive horn TH-4001/EH-331L/EH-301S The Exclusive is made of plywood, and the Yamamoto horn is made of solid timber glued, And the Yamamoto horn sound is better than the Exclusive horn in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to get my hands on a pair of these if there is anything available. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Analogsound Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 The Goto horn is not too expensive if compared with the Exclusive or Yamamoto horn, and the Goto easy to find than Exlsuive or Yamamoto horn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pops110 Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Not TAD’s but may be of interest? https://www.stereonet.com/forums/topic/586889-horn-speakers-jbl-2405-altec-511-802d-414a-petite-onken/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Analogsound Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 TAD/ Exclusive only has a mid and high driver sounds amazing, With the Altec, you can select a woofer, mid-range, and horn I'll finish the project using TD-4001 & ET-703 in the next couple of months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you referring to the horns only or drivers too as a comparison? Both brands are quite different in many ways. I have owned both and kept TAD.

ChonkyCat Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 There are also many levels of goto drivers so need to be specific which drivers. The mid to higher level drivers can be good. The tweeters are excellent. Mid low drivers even using dual drivers per goto horn can lack a bit of body IME. But horn and implementation are just as crucial as driver.

ChonkyCat Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Drivers used previously are 370dx , sg555 and sg160. Have also used radian 950be and other higher level goto drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
