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.



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?
