I rebuild Quads and other stats for a living. And yes I will speak ill of all of them! Catch me on the wrong day and you would never buy a stat!!!!
Acoustat was never the size company of Quad not even close. By the 1970's and well into the 80's Quad was the largest maker of audio equipment in the UK with a staff of over 450 people. Millions of pieces of Quad electronics were produced the stats were just a vanity product a drop in their production bucket. And M-L may have started out as a small one man operation but grew into a giant probably the most successful builder of electrostats. By comparison to either company Acoustat was a small operation.
This is no dig on Acoustat they do some things quite well and are a bargain on the used market. But lets not make them into something they never were. They had a good 15 year or so run and then folded.
