Thank you Spencer, I’ll take you up on that offer next time I'm in the area. My roots are there, plenty of family, born in Chester. I agree with you on your two points in that the Quads I mentioned are both one trick ponies and the Soundlabs are full range but a bit too large for my space, at least my wife would say as much so probably a nonstarter which isn't to say that I haven't lusted over those speakers since the first time I heard a pair of A3's more than 25 years ago, thanks again for your gracious offer!
