Conducting a survey of former Quad 57 owners. Please fill out the form and repost:1) I used to have Quad 57 ESLs, but now I have _______.
2) What I like about my new speakers is _______.
3) What I don't like about my new speakers is _______.
4) What I miss most about my Quads is _______.
Here's mine:
1) KEF 105.2, modified with protection circuitry removed, new front panels, and a 10" Vifa woofer.
2) Quad-like transparency, but with more dynamics, a wider listening field, and no fear of blowing them up if the volume is too loud....or worrying about costly repairs or maintenance.
3) Nowhere near as romantic and euphoric a listening experience as the Quads. Can be harsh with the wrong program material...but then again most speakers are that way.
4) The Quads were pure magic....completely and totally fatigue-free without a trace of harshness.
