Well then, really really congrats!!! Stacked quads a really terrific and were the heart of the legendary HQD system.
You are so lucky.
I think you would want to take the speakers further into the room and clear out the chair ottoman and excess speakers.

Yes - when I snapped that yesterday, I had just delivered the speakers home. Not time to rearrange yet but will start this week.
First off, I'll be making up some fresh power leads for the Bulgin plugs as the leads I have are rather decrepit. I may also seek some spare ones (Bulgin plugs) as they seem quite hard to replace and it may pay to have a few spare while they're still some around.
I notice some of the rivets in the bass panels have some 'white blooming' around them, suggesting they've oxidised in Auckland's humidity. Also, one of the bass panel's dust covers has a tear in it, somehow, despite the good frame design and mesh backing. Hmmm.

They are ruthlessly revealing of everything in the path upstream. The best amp I have ever heard drive my Quads are the Atma-Sphere OTL's.
The amps I'll be starting with (stacks wired in series) are a pair of mint Beam Echo DL7-35s. True Mullard 5-20 amps, probably using reissue KT-77s to start (and spare the Mullards they came with).
If I decide I need four amps, I'd certainly be interested in sourcing some OTLs.
