These are from my personal collection. A great sounding pair of Pioneer Exclusive EL-403\'s. The EL-403 and the TAD 1601 are identical from everything I have read,a close inspection of both and listening test I did with audio friends. Impedance reading are 7.0 and 8.2 Ohms respectively.One appears to have been reconed in 1993.While not consecutive, the serial numbers are very close.I have a pair of the TL-1601\'s as well, while I didn\'t want to muddy up the pics with them, the last pic does show the badge and how similar it is to these 403\'s. I could hear absolutely NO difference when swapping between the two pairs.I have owned these for roughly 20 years and they have been a part of my main system for most of that time. They were purchased from an audiophile who, like me only used them with low wattage tube amps.
They will be VERY well packed. Double boxed with high quality styrofoam. They will arrive as advertised.
They sound \"delicious\" Alnico will do that.
