I try not to think of myself as old, just well-seasoned. ;-)I can't really address how the sound of the De Capos compares to your Quads because I have never heard Quad speakers. The bottom line for me regarding the De Capos is that even with my very modest system they are so musical and easy to listen to for long periods of time with utterly no fatigue. I agree that they may be lacking at the frequency extremes, but not at the expense of the music. I still hear plenty of detail in the high end. And as far as the bottom end goes, I definitely feel the bass, plus I hear every nuance. No one-note bottom end here, folks. An acoustic bass sounds like an acoustic bass, a Fender Jazz bass like a Fender Jazz. That said, I'm still toying with the idea of adding a sub just to add a bit of air way down below. My previous speakers were the Paradigm Studio 100 v.2. I can't say that I was a huge fan of this speaker overall, but the bottom end definitely rocked and I kind of miss that.
Admittedly, at this point in my hi-fi career, I am no longer in search of perfectly accurate, ruthlessly revealing components. I decided that for me, it's about sitting down and ENJOYING my music collection again, without having to jump up and turn the volume down whenever a less-than-perfect recording is played. Even so, I don't believe that the De Capos are overly euphonic either.Well, good luck whatever you decide to do. As I've said ad-nauseum over here, I believe the De Capo is a wonderful speaker and I believe you would love them if you tried them.
