RE: An alternate thought

Good luck with your experiments. I wouldn't think it too hard to arrange a trial of different electronics to test your friend's thought. It doesn't have to be his brand just to see if a switch would change your perception.

In spite of their modern appearance, Gallos are still a forward-firing box speaker. They have a dramatically different radiation pattern and other characteristics than your dipole Quads. The speaker differences alone are on an order of several magnitudes more than any difference in electronics.

In my book, that's rather like noticing a 2-seat sports car does not drive the same as a SUV and ascribing the difference to the spark plugs.

That's not to say you won't prefer one set of electronics over another, but changing the electronics is not going to make Quads sound like Gallos. At this point, maybe it's time to ignore lineage and classic reputations. I suspect you just like the sound of the Gallos better.
