係未真架, TAD 同 Pioneer 明明係同一間野黎wor
To the best of my knowledge, this is Yes and No.
TAD becomes a division of Pioneer. Their relation is kind of like Teac and Esoteric (I have little idea the details about their firm structure though). TAD focus on professional market while Pioneer focus on consumer market. And TAD can be regarded as separate group under the general brand of Pioneer.
Just a little example. Pioneer Pure Matt speakers was popular some years ago. It has 2 versions --- PM and VP. Because of claiming to use TAD technology in the VP bass driver (but not made by TAD), it commands more than 40% price premimum over PM whose speakers units are made by Pioneer.
Besides the above chocies, if you are using or going to use high power (best =>200W*2), high current amp, you might also try TAD TSM-2201, which outperforms on almost all aspects of TAD 300, besides bass extension (<=80 hz) and much more difficult to drive. You can go to TAD showroom in Central to taste it.

my amp is melody sp6, is it ok to match TAD?
I have never listened to Melody SP6, so I can't tell exactly. But given that it is using EL34 PP, it should be powerful enough to drive TAD 300, but not TAD TSM-2201 [it is so hard to reveal its bass and dynamics out]. My closest experience is to use Audion Sterling EL34 single-ended tube amp (12w*2) to drive TAD 300 some ten years ago. The sound is smooth and full of rhythm, especially for Jazz saxphone and light classical (Mozart piano sonatas, and others' violin sonatas, trios, or string quartets etc). But it could not handle well large scale symphonies, like Mahler No.2, Beethoven No. 7 or Britten's Simple Symphony) or large dynamic scale piano pieces like Beethoven's late piano sonatas, or Schubert's. For pop, unless you goes for heavy metal or hard rocks, it should be fine, like Neil Young, Elivs Presley, Carpenters or even Queen and Led Zeppelin are acceptable to me.
Except for bass extension and amount, TAD TSM-2201 wins TAD300 on almost all aspects. But it really needs a high power and high current power amp to make it sing, especially for the bass and the dynamics. If we use power amps like Krell, Spectral, Chasse, or even FM, it should have little problems to achieve good performance. You can go to TAD shownroom in Central for an audition too as its sound character might not appeal to all of us.
