Guttenberg and Quad Electrostatics

When Steve Guttenberg admits to his many years of previous ownership of Quad Electrostatics it reminds me of someone who sheepishly admits to once being in a cult. I’ve never heard Quads, but it seems like he went 180 degrees to super dynamic horns. Did he rave about the sound Quads for years?

Love 'em. Forget having them on the original feet. I feel they work best like this:

Former quad owner here. Two thoughts... back in their time, there almost nothing like them in their ability to produce open and hauntingly dimensional sound for some types of music...(many speakers do that now). 

And... some days you like chocolate and some days you prefer cherry... same with speakers... nothing wrong with enjoying the quad detail today and Volti dynamics tomorrow. 

As for Steve, I think he says he owns and enjoys at least four speakers not including those he reviews.
