I think the original Quad ESL is the classic 'recidivist' piece of gear. People love 'em but hate their limitations, often selling them to get a "better" speaker only to regret getting rid of them, to buy them again. I've hung on to mine since 1973 and still use 'em (not my main speaker any more, and recently restored). There is nothing quite like them. ("Despite their limitations," which is a unity phrase; you always find that qualification in any modern discussion of the speaker).
Can we hear from those who essentially repurchased previous system?
Are you someone who had Speaker A or Amp X, sold it on the proverbial merry-go-round yet repurchased that same piece of gear--only to build a system around it?
If ’Yes" then...
What was the piece (type/make/model)?
Did the product that brought you back do something a less expensive/more expensive product did not do or that it did wrong?
