QUAD 2905 . humidity and reliability

You need to use them in an air conditioned room.My last pair lasted 12 years before rebuild.I have heard Dynamic speakers in the over $50 grand price range and none of them have the accuracy and precision like the Quads.The only thing that can compare is,"live music".

Bkonig,
I agree with what you say about 'stats'. I used to own Acoustat 3's with the C mods. After a couple of years near the ocean in California, they were popping and having other issues. I sold them and went into dynamics and never looked back.
BTW, I also owned prior to the stats a pair of Maggie 1c's, which I actually preferred to the Acoustats. Nonetheless, neither have the palp factor of a good pair of dynamics, again IMHO.

I live in New Delhi, India, where the humidity levels during the monsoons tend to be high. I have owned a pair of ML Odysseys for a year and a half and a pair of Quad 2905s for the past six months. The secret is air con.Have experienced more problems with dust(with the MLs)than any humidity issue. In all fairness must point out that summers are very dry with temps in excess of 45 deg celsius!!NJoy
