I have never owned Quads, but stacked 57s would be pretty nice I think. I don't really like the sound of the Quad 63 that much, it is somehow lacking in clarity compared to some of the other electrostats I have owned.
Here is the list of what I have owned:
Audiostatic ES100
Acoustat 1+1
Acoustat Spectra 2200
Acoustat Spectra 4400
STAX ELS F81
In addition I have owned the following planar magnetic/ribbon speakers:
Apogee Caliper Signature
Infinity IRS Beta
Bohlender Graebener DIY hybrids (using D28.1 driver and 10 inch woofer in a fully active design)
All were more clear, IMO, than the 63, all except the F81s could play louder and more powerfully overally (the Audiostatics only slightly so).
My current Genesis VI speakers are mostly conventional drivers (planar magnetic tweeter front and back) but they are dipolar and have similar characteristics to planars.
