"New" Quads and Stands

Posted by George S. Roland on February 27, 2017 at 00:21:40:

After selling my Quad ESL-63s and suffering seller's remorse, I decided to purchase another pair of Quads--USA Monitors this time. I sent them to Electrostatic Solutions where Kent McCollum, who is a great person to work with, went over them and upgraded the binding posts, replaced the EHT boards, dust covers and installed more open metal screens and grille cloth.
I find these speakers sound best on stands. I could not locate a pair of Quad's "Stand and Deliver" stands, so I built stands for the Quads myself. Arcici stands make the speakers a bit overwhelming visually, so I like the height of the S&D stands. However, these do not aim the speakers' centers at one's ears when seated. By elevating the front of my stands 3/4 inch, I was able to get the centers pointed directly at my ears and now enjoy that added bit of clarity the Arcici stands provide. This stand configuration and the upgrades from ES resulted in a pair of ESL-63s with much improved sonics.
