RE: Nadir -- Original Quads . . .

I think Charles's youth must have been a bit sheltered. I heard them up here in the Frozen North a scant few years after their introduction (and later repeatedly, even in double sets). I was young; my ears were sharp; my father was buying new speakers faster than new cars, and I was heavily into comparisons. The original Quads had an extraordinarily neutral and natural-sounding mid-range. Little deep bottom, high top, or loud volume, but exemplary for the piano trios my mother spent much of her time playing. That mid-range, for me, set a standard -- it may have been surpassed, but I never had the chance to find out. Though I was subsequently smitten by various Dayton-Wrights and Acoustats, I was never able to compare the various 'stats with each other. Brand distinctions aside, electrostatic mid-range to me seems superior to that produced by any other technology.

Thanks for reminding me.
