Dire Straits Private Investigator and Telegraph Road are well recorded tracks and I love the songs. It shows off how fast the mid range driver is. That's the actual foundation of that fast upper and mid bass that we love in a 'fast' speaker. So many don't realize that the mid is so important to set up everything else. That's why it's even more critical than the tweeters, but so many other companies just sell us on their tweeter or their metal or plastic cabinets etc... To me, this is why I love the Vandersteen line as it's like a point source and the cohesion is there that it missing on so many of the other major players/names to MY EARS. Not putting others down as some folks loved the others. It's all good as long as we are happy. We do need to talk about favorite recordings and the emotions they bring us. That's why I think so many audiophiles care a bit more about components than the music.
Since getting the Quatro's I am now listening to a lot of high res, well recorded orchestral music I never would have listened to. It was on my server when I purchased it and was used in demonstrations for Empirical Audio at their shows (if you ever heard their rooms, you probably have heard my personally server, lol). I think it's because I now know what it's like to have a true full range speakers. I know the 5 and 7 take that to a bigger and deeper level and it's just so important when listening.
