Well, if no one else brought them up, Quad 57's. And if you want to take them to the next level, remove the grills and you might want stretch a shear cloth over the fronts. I used black polyester cloth and painted side panels with black paint. Actually did a bit more to them in the almost forty years I have owned them. They look much more modern. But just removing the grills makes a shocking improvement. If you own clumsy pets or children, maybe leave grills on. Personally over the years working on them I probably took a hundred shocks or so from them. That might explain something about me; just joking. Maybe
BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS
My system is as follows:
- Martin Logan 11A Impressions hybrid electrostatic speakers.
- Bryston 4B3 cubed power amp 300 per channel into 8 and 500 into 4.
- Bryston BP-19 preamp, Chord Qutest Dac & Lumin U2 mini stream.
- SVS subs-pair of SB-4000
- I listen at 55-60 dbs. Can anybody recommend a speaker with a budget of $15,000.00 per pair that sounds alive and dynamic at low listening levels. My dealer sells, Totem, Triangle and Proac.
- Any recommendations would be appreciated. Due to age and ear issues I can listen comfortably at 55-60 dbs and not much louder.
- Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.
