Quad 57 or 63 with Gradients

Depends how loudly you want to listen. You get better SPL with the 63s and the sweet sport is a tad larger compared to the 57s. But for absolute purity of sound in the midrange the 57 is hard to beat and the highs are wonderfully sweet. Not that the 63 is a slouch there either! I love them both, but needed higher SPLs, so I switched. you could of course also get 2 pairs of 57s and stack them. What amp to you intend to drive your speakers with?

I've owned several pairs of 57's, and a pair of 63's with the dedicated Gradient subs.

In my opinion, a good pair of 57s sounds a bit better in the vocal region than a good pair of 63s. The 63s will definitely play louder. So there is no clear-cut winner, but my personal preference would be for the 57s.

Let me know if you might be interested in a minor, easily reversible tweak for the 57's (it's not something I sell).

Hey Detlof, I guess Duke is just a tease.
