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.

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