This sorta normal for newsgroups. The OP actually got a couple of useful
suggestions before the tangents started.

I know and I was not trying to be too critical, I can't afford to be but
perhaps I was disappointed as I am grasping at any information I can get
at this point of time.
Did you return the Quads?
Yes, they are very faulty and probably need all their vital organs
replaced which in fairness to the dealer he is doing. They are going
down to Quad and when they come back I can make up my mind.
It's hard to go back once you've heard a good
pair. To be fair, few will know that Bosie even makes speakers, although
there was some discussion here based on the presence of a piano in a
recent stereo show demo room. In my case, this would make the listening
experience more like my home than less!
I know, and with my problem in choosing it really "throws the cat
amongst the pigeons" in that I am now even more confused.
One thing though, and this from a layman having the nerve to express his
opinion in this erudite Newsgroup, I have some very knowledgeable
friends connected with the Piano and they have always maintained that
its the hardest instrument to record. If this is so and the Bosendorfer
is reputably so good at it then surely it means its no mean reproducer
of orchestral music etc. ?
I would be interested in your comments on this. Bye the way, I won't be
able to try them out until the end of next week after which I will, if I
may, report back here.

Thanks again for all your help.
