The new Quad electrostatics are getting rave reviews. So who is
planning to buy? Anybdy actually receive a pair already?


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


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.
