In Reply to: So, dumb question - why not just the Quads? nt posted by JimL on June 1, 2005 at 13:32:02:
That's a good question. Because the Quads are fragile, large, and hard to place. You can't push them and they don't make much bass. Still....what they do right makes them worth it and if I can't find anything close....it will be "just the Quads".
