Thanks Tom, ProggRob an Eric. I read all of your posts here. I do appreciate your time, your ears and your thoroughness.
I am intrigued about the Pure Audio Project Trio15TB! My under hung neodymium, run in full range drivers with Mundorf's at 4.5 cross, are really blowing me away in my Adagio's. Albeit, not open baffle. So, to read this here on their site, tells me a lot about what I'm hearing in my recently modified Adagio's and about their Speakers you guys heard and were impressed with.
"- Full ranger driver: Tang Bang W8-1808 Neodymium full range driver. The W8-1808 neo full range driver incorporates a higher Qts for open baffle design. An underhung voice coil and carefully balanced paper cone contribute to smooth response with exceptionally low distortion. An ideal driver for single-ended tube amp systems".
&......."Mundorf brand brings quality. The crossover is custom designed for Trio15TB".
http://shop.grantfidelity.com/PureAudioProject-Trio15TB-Open-Baffle-Speakers-pai...If I could pull the lever on a pair now, I would, to put up against what my Adagio's are now doing with MOD. I know the 15TB's would be keeper's too!
Next year I'm going! The last two years I've had other commitments.
***PS? I remember when Steve could no longer get Tang-bands. Is this now a different, or once again available Tang-band?***
(Nice proof reading on their site. NOT. They have Tang bang).
