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.

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.
