I have the original Quad 405, unmodified. As noted, the amp sounds great with almost all types of music, including some chorus recordings. I just checked the drivers on my a/d/s 1230s, and they look fine to me. The shiny gauze material on the mid-range and tweeter drivers remain shiny and sticky. The paper woofers and their rubber surrounds also look solid.
I guess choral pieces are among the most difficult to reproduce, even in the live concert hall. Still, I'm thinking that I might get better results with planers or eletrostatics, speakers that emphasize the mid-range spectrum. In fact, I once owned a pair of Quad 57s, then traded them in for the a/d/s 810s (before I moved up to the 1230s) after a year because of their obvious short-comings.
