What speakers do you have other than the Quads that I've heard you speak
so highly of?
Infinity Primus 150: out of production.
Linn Kabers: not recommended due to age, scarcity, etc.
Thanks. �I thought that you had some Spendors or something?
The vinylanachronist enjoys Spendors and Harbeths IIRC
I do, but few are available at $1200 (especially Harbeth). You can
find a pair of Spendor BC-1s in excellent condition for just a few
hundred dollars. The midrange will astonish but the frequency extremes
might seem a little too rounded. It's a decidedly old-fashioned BBC
sound but I love it.
I just saw a pair of used ProAc Response 2s for around a grand. I
thought about buying them but the cabinets were a little too beat up.
For $1200 you might find a pair in better condition.
I really enjoyed the Sonics Argenta. They're about $1600 a pair.
They're rather ordinary-looking two-way monitors but they go down to
about 38 Hz and sound really wonderful for the money.
I don't think I'd buy a pair of Quad ESLs for $1200...chances are they
have problems for that kind of money. Buying Quads is like buying a
used car...the previous owner needs to have taken very good care of
them for the deal to be worth it. And every time you ship them, you
take a big risk in damaging them.
