I own Bliss Hifi, a high-end audio boutique and these TAD CE1TX loudspeakers are being listed as a consignment sale on behalf of my client for whom I am selling his entire system. It is in near mint condition and perfect working order. The speakers were used as a show demo, and my client is the first owner.

The speakers come with their optional factory stands and spikes ($2,500 new), and grilles (in mint condition, still sealed). The speakers and stands will ship in their original boxes.

The CE1TX is one of those rare speakers that makes you forget you’re listening to a standmount. The scale it produces is genuinely disorienting given its size, throwing a soundstage with the depth and dimensionality you’d expect from speakers twice its footprint. The CST coaxial driver delivers a midrange coherence that I’d put alongside anything I’ve heard from my time with Estelon or T+A. Vocals lock into space with an almost holographic presence that doesn’t waver as you move around the room. Bass weight and authority from that MACS II woofer is startling, with genuine impact that never feels bloated or slow.

And then there’s the build. The fit and finish is on another level entirely, with the kind of meticulous Japanese craftsmanship where every seam, every curve, every surface feels like it was obsessed over by someone who considers loudspeaker building an art form. Holding one of these in your hands (all 64 pounds of it), you immediately understand that this is a product built by people who refuse to compromise.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Check my stellar feedback and buy with confidence. This listing requires palletized freight shipping and insurance across the CONUS and will be covered by the buyer. I have a relationship with a good logistics company that offers decent rates for residential delivery with a liftgate and unloading into your garage. As this is a passthrough sale that I am brokering on behalf of my client, I can only accept payments via PayPal F&F, Venmo Gift, or personal check, but this also gives you the opportunity to attain this at my lowest possible price.

Happy to answer any questions. Thanks for your consideration.

More about the unit:
The TAD CE1TX is the culmination of nearly five decades of Japanese engineering excellence from Technical Audio Devices Laboratories, a brand born from Pioneer’s professional audio legacy. At its core is TAD’s proprietary CST coaxial driver, concentrically mounting a vapor-deposited beryllium tweeter within a magnesium midrange cone to achieve point-source coherence across an extraordinary bandwidth extending to 100kHz. Paired with an upgraded MACS II aramid-composite woofer and TAD’s innovative bidirectional AeroDynamic Slot venting system, the CE1TX delivers full-range bass response down to 34Hz from a standmount design — a feat that defies its form factor. Every driver and component is handcrafted in Japan to exacting tolerances, reflecting an artisan tradition where precision and musical truth are inseparable.

This listing includes the purpose-built TAD ST2TX stands, engineered specifically to complement the CE1TX with optimized height, mass, and vibration damping that unlock the speaker’s full potential. The result is a system that produces pinpoint imaging, three-dimensional soundstaging, and a midrange purity that reviewers consistently describe as among the finest ever achieved in a monitor loudspeaker. Whether reproducing the delicate texture of a solo vocal or the dynamic scale of a full orchestra, the CE1TX reveals every nuance of a recording without editorializing — exactly as TAD’s guiding philosophy demands.
