Quad ESL or Soundlab?

The stacked Quad 57's can be considered as benchmark electrostatic speakers. The Soundlab A-1's (which I own) remind me of them. The Soundlabs have more bass and deeper bass. Also the SPL handling is better (can play louder).

podiums all the way . no sweet spot , efficient , easy to place , no crossovers , NO BEAMING. A total revelation period. www.podiumsound.co.uk

hi andre:

where did you hear the podiums ? i heard them at ces they sounded awful. i had two other friends with me at the st tropez.

No discussion possible the best electrostatic speakers ever build in whole history are :
1) Legendary Beveridge 2 SW (world's most holographic 3-D speaker ever)
2) Legendary 4 stacked Quad 57 ESL's.

All other current and old eletrostatics speakers will be beaten by those two legendary speakers.

Soundlab has a big soundstage but is lesser musical than Beveridge or Quad ESL 57(stacked).
Listen to the magical midrange and nothing will do.

hello mr tennis
cant explain why they sounded awfull, maybe you didnt give them enough time. I own the .5. they only sound as good as the equipment put through them, they are a true breakthrough product, what the industry has been needing for years. Oh and the WAF is very much there also.
