My experience with Quads is extreme listening fatigue at volume. I switched to Maggies and got all the accuracy without the fatigue. Of course, you need excellent hardware--typically tube--and they have to be set up properly. I have never found anything more accurate.
As for the HQD system, we made some of the stands for him and some 24" Hartley sub cabs--HUGE and heavy--they were on 4" casters and made out of either 1.5" or 2" composite board--I forget much of 1973-76. Unfortunately, the ML HW of the day was un-listenable even though it was made with the best possible parts and designed by a terrific designer.
As for horns, they belong on the top of poles at HS football games, not in your home system. Put a pair next to a pair of Maggies and see what YOU think.
Cheers!
