Hi Gerry, Not threadjacking but it may be relevant here. I have a pair of A400's and T1030's and would like to get your opinion on how the A400 which was TOTL in A series compares against T1030 which was TOTL on T series. Thank you kindly. My experience is below: ************************************************************************************************************** Boston Acoustics T1030 vs A400 Comparison This is limited to moderate volume (not high) and in a small room. Results may be different at louder volume in larger room. T1030 (All Original, foam surrounds look good, no tears, not rotting but they may be softer due to age): Very smooth sounding speakers with great but soft bass thump. Mids/highs are very good except they sound little softer/smoother and slightly recessed when compared against A400. I can hear soft bass extension that doesn't end too abruptly. A400 (All mids and woofer foam surrounds re-foamed with genuine fillet foam surrounds few months ago): Almost exact sound characteristics as T1030 but little more dynamic, specially the highs/mids sound more open, brighter and louder. I hear more high frequency musical instruments with vocals while in T1030, some high music notes are not at the same level as vocals. That adds little more sizzles on A400's and sounds little forward. Bass is tighter in A400's and it ends earlier than T1030 so it feels like bass is punchier in A400's while softer in T1030. Overall, A400's feel like they have little more grunt/power on everything, highs/mids/lows. Strings sound brighter in A400's but not too bright. I'm guessing if I listen to speakers all day, T1030 may be better as it's slightly smoother and may not have ear fatigue over the long run. But if I have to pick one pair, it'll be A400's without hesitation. A400's just sound very free, open and like live music. T1030's are not far behind but feels little bit constrained on everything by slight margin except longer low extension. When listening to songs on A400's, it feels energetic while T1030's sound little relaxed. T1030's are on my top list along with A400 and L100T. ************************************************************************************************************** PS: If a new thread is better option, I'll do that. Thanks
