You must be using new definitions of the words "robust" and "reliable" that I am unfamiliar with. :-)
I am trying to think of a speaker that is more fragile and prone to failure than Walker's Quad ESL... I'm thinking. Suggesting that a failed Quad is a statistical oddity can only be described as misguided if not absurd. The failure rate is so high that there is a cottage industry that does nothing but repairs or manufactures panels--as if you didn't know that.
The Quad ESL was among the best sounding speakers I have owned. Reliable? No way.
