Congratulations. For purity of sound, naturalness and their inherent musicality Walkers masterpiece is hard to beat unless you wish to listen at high SPLs. The next step would indeed be to stack them, putting them "head to head" in a nice sturdy wooden frame. I had something like that about 35 years ago, later adding Sequerra ribbon speakers and after a while an Entec sub. Was very happy with this for a long time .....
Quad ESL 57 are there better speakers out there??
28 years of searching i never imagined i would find heaven at long last. So realistic so present so alive. After 25 years of searching for the time machine that can transport me back to the very moment the recording was made, and have me standing there next to the musician I have found it.
Feed it glorious amps like my audionote p4 signature monos and the jadis jps1 pre all headed by the very first DAC that was ever made the TDA 1540 in the form of the Revox B225 and join this to the best speaker i have ever heard and you are there at the finishing line.
NO Bass crap, bring it right out into the middle of a large room fgive space to breath put it on heavy metal stands remove the oak feet and put a couple of ebony pucks underneath and you will never look back. Well thats how I feel right now.
People who have lived with quads set up properly with high quality equipment need only respond.
Let me know what you think , and what is the next best step stack them in pairs??
Who would believe the two of the oldest technologies could make hifi sound so real????????

People who have lived with quads set up properly with high quality equipment need only respond. Since I don't qualify to comment (not lived with Quads), let me just say that I am happy for you having found Nirvana. No question you have a great system. Quad ESL 57 are there better speakers out there?? Quite obviously no there are not - at least not for you. You have found the perfect match after just 28 years! I will watch with interest to see just how long nirvana lasts. what is the next best step That is it. Once you reach Nirvana you stop. |
Audiojoy4: What is the next best step stack them in pairs? Yes that is a popular thing to do. As a huge fan of quads, I am happy you have found your nirvana with them. You may enjoy visitng this site: http://www.go.to/mtaudio, then click Quad ESL. Sadly, many people, myself included, just don't have the space for them. So it would be good to hear, especially from someone like you who has been searching for 28 years, what comes closest among traditional boxes? |
