I believe ProMusica is a Quad dealer so you may be able to hear the S2s there. They also apparently carry Totem and ProAc and I’d highly recommend giving those a listen while you’re there as both are excellent. If it was me and I was planning on upgrading the Rotel at some point I’d consider saving up a little more for something like the Fritz Carbon 7SE, Revival Atalante 3, or the Reference 3a MM DeCapo BE that I’d feel more confident would scale up with and not be outclassed by better amplifiers. Just some thoughts FWIW, and best of luck.
Trying to decide between Quad S2 and Ascend Sierra 2 EX
Looking for a dealer in Chicagoland to audition the Quad S2, also interested in the Sierra 2 EX. Latter is about the top of my limited budget. Anyone have an opportunity to compare both, with their proprietary ribbon tweeters? My room is roughly 18 x 16, I don't mind a touch bright, currently running a 60 watt Rotel integrated, possible upgrade coming on that as well, though it has served me very well up until now. Low to a moderate listening volume. I value (what I consider) purity of timbre, fairly wide soundstage, clear and unmuffled high end. Appreciate any and all thoughts.
