About the TAD-CE1TX
The TAD-CE1TX is Technical Audio Devices Laboratories’ Evolution Series Compact Evolution One bookshelf speaker system, introduced in 2022 as the replacement for the original CE1. It is a 3-way bass-reflex design using a 18 cm woofer, a coaxial 14 cm magnesium midrange cone and 3.5 cm beryllium dome tweeter, and TAD’s Bidirectional ADS port for low-noise bass loading. The speaker is known for its heavy, highly rigid cabinet construction and is typically paired with the matching TAD-ST2TX-K stand, which is sold separately and is commonly treated as part of the system. The listed price for the loudspeakers is $32,500 per pair, with the stand adding extra cost.
