Quads excel In the mid range especially the older 57, but not in Bass or highs vs $$ speakers
maggis I have owned a bunch cheap Xover parts,and frame is a disaster unless you buy a quality Mye stand they flex like a sail
I am referring reference in a 3 way capacity when I am saying a retail speaker $15-20 k is average for a mid fi reference speaker
by today’s $$ pricing standards when $100 k is considered upper end ,$50k mid reference ,which I cannot afford.sadly .
