Speakers

Try some of the Usher CP series speakers. I had the cp6381 and it sounded very good. If you want a much better speaker try the usher mini dancer 1 or 2 speakers with the diamond tweeter

because of your Quad aspirations, i will veer from my very typical Vandersteen recommendation ( for great stereo, get 2C and up !!!! )

but i will suggest some work for you.....try to find Shahinian Obelisk....buy a pair to start and add 2nd pair for the quad setup...

failing that get the Vandersteen 2C ( or better ) and a set of on wall Vandersteen for the backside quad pair....

you might find both options shockingly good

have fun.....enjoy the music..

BTW, i worked at a Sansui / Shahinian dealer late 70’s...

yes we has other more high end gear....but the Shahinians may shock you for enjoyment.....

especially w multitrack recordings of the day.....mixed with high eq, heavy hand on pan and a mostly 2 D soundstage......

One year later and my JBL 4429’s provide me with the most realistic portrayal of my music over that of the litany of speakers I have owned!  They were all great speakers, but for a varied music collection and a less than ideal listening environment, the 4429’s deliver realistic uncompressed dynamics, accurate tone and very impressive soundstaging.  Pure joy to listen to with any genre of music!
