If you really want to do this with Quad '57s there are some aspects of the speaker that you really want to understand first.
Per the manual - the amp should have an out put that does not rise above 20 volts - this is to prevent arcing. 200WPC is WAY above 20 volts.
Impedance of a speaker varies over the frequency range - this is very important as the '57s drop to 2 Ohms around 100 Hz, so running them in parallel (times 4) will not be a good idea - see math above.
-HOWEVER running them in serial could address this problem quite nicely.
There is a bump in the crossover for the quads that creates a boost at ~90Hz - best to have a separate Subwoofer (or 2) and cross over the system at 100 /120Hz
More quads will not mean louder - there is still a physical limit to the excursion distance that precludes sound above 88dB.
More quads could help with the directionality of the quads - and create a LARGER 'sweet-spot'
Good luck
Happy Listening
