How do you like the Berning amp by now?  Is it an EA-2-30 or a ZH-230?  
Changing panels in Quad Speakers
How do the speakers sound now and who did you get the panels from?  How much did it cost compared to having them done by one of the Quad specialists?  Mike

What amp do you use with your QUAD'S?
Really at a very little cost. Sonically, the 270 can be adjusted to several tastes. Financially, it was very reasonable as I purchased it before it was a very popular amp. Thanks, mpcrnc. 
What amp do you use with your QUAD'S?
