Well it's good to know that people feel the Quads are not the problem.
I do get excellent imaging from the Quads, which have been recently rebuilt by Wayne Picquet and which have been tried in many various positions. It's just that the imaging I hear on my friend's system is appreciably tighter and better defined and thus more mind blowingly magical. My system reaches that level of resolution, only on occasion.
Maybe it's his preamps, cd player, cartridge and high powered Atma-Sphere's that are making the difference. His room is pretty hodge-podge, especially compared to my carefully put together dedicated listening room, so I doubt the difference is in room treatment. His room isn't treated at all!!
I may have to chalk it up to the fact that there really is a difference between a $7,000 system and a $40,000 system after all.
