RE: quad esl 63 vs altec model 19

It's fascinating to me to learn how many of you guys have both of these speakers, and would like to, or will, keep them both. I had no idea! Even though my 19s are up for sale, I won't be too upset if they don't sell. I'll get to enjoy them awhile longer then ;^)

I think Vinnie and Paul both championing the lack of horn coloration in Model 19s is testament to their quality, which I believe is superb. In my lengthy posting on why the Quad ESL-63s do it for me, I was trying to emphasize the differences I perceive for Vinnie's benefit. My experience/impressions ya understand. I agree with Paul, by the way, that the Model 19s may have a little too much bass in their balance. This was exaggerated when I had mine in a corner. I have had them out in the room away from all boundaries and against the wall but out of the corners, both of which positions improve the bass a good deal when compared to placing them in a corner. I don't think anyone would be right to call them "bass shy". Maybe a bit the other way.
