Further Information

I purchased these speakers from Adrian last year. Speakers are still on pallets in my garage and have not been used since delivered.

 

We are renovating our home and I thought I had space for a dedicated listening room, which is converting to a gym (mrs' orders) - I think these are too good to put in our kitchen, but will reluctantly do so if I can't sell!

 

See link to Adrian's ad, with much better pictures than I could take!

... the one that got away...

 

I coveted these when they first went on sale and just missed out. If you are hunting for endgame speakers, look no further.

Trust me, nothing is end game.

Are you sure that RRP is correct for this model?

https://houseofstereo.com/products/tad-labs-reference-one-tx - exchange rate has been volatile this week, but this is where I got it from?

Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but isn't the TX the latest model?

These are still phenomenal speakers, but I believe the MK2 advertised here was the previous generation (before the RRP skyrocketed).

That is correct - but I have no idea what the RRP was when I bought them? So thought this was best reference. 
 

I think this is the lowest advertised price I've seen on here for a black pair?

They were around the $90K-$100K RRP mark from memory. As I said, the MSRP skyrocketed for the new model in the last couple of years.

Ok - I can't seem to amend the ad - but my understanding is they are sonically similar just different finishes.

That’s the new tx model. 
I had 2 pairs of the Mk2’s, the rrp at the time in AUD was $89,000.  I purchased the first pair in Australia from Sydney Hifi when they were the dealer. 
The piano black was a special order, maybe 5-10k more.

At this price, this model (the best value for money IMO), is exceptional buying. If I was in the market for end-game speakers I would have been all over these.

Amazing price! That's almost giving them away.

If it's "almost giving them away" why would you not buy them? The comment just  seems odd to me.
