I'm not sure they're much different from the 'old' Quads! but all I know
is what I read in the brochure.

Possible! I like the idea of a brace for the "cabinet" Quads aren't
supposed to have.

The structure around the drivers is much more solid and well-built,
mostly. This does translate to deeper bass.

I came close to buying a pair of the smaller ones when I still had a
pair of Quad II Classic monoblocks. But, with a low-powered SET, I'm
more interested in things like Audio Note AN-Es or those Yamamoto Sound
Crafts with the Altec-Lansing drivers.

You'd need one of those 30 watt monster amps!

Better structure can't be bad. Mine make all manner of flimsy rattling
sounds when struck lightly.

And they look much, much better. Never underestimate the importance of
that!

Is there something about the SET amp that makes the choice of speaker
secondary for you? (I have yet to hear one.)

It wasn't that the choice of speaker was secondary. I actually bought
the Yamamotos because I already had the Zu Druids, and I was told by
Sean Casey, the designer of the Druids, that this was his favorite
match. So I checked it out myself and agreed.

I'd get rid of the training amps and buy real ones. SET's only legit
purpose is as a beginner DIY project. Like a training bra for girls.

So you've auditioned the Yamamoto Sound Craft A-08S with a pair of Zu
Cable Druid mk. IVs in the comfort of you own home and came to this
conclusion?

It's the patented, day-glo Marc Phillips' "You never lived until you heard
a Yammakwaski Nightengale power amp driven by a Kruzenjammer power amp"
schtick.

It's pretty ironic watching trailer trash like Marc trying to play the class
card.
