in 1962 I walked into a hi fi store in Berkeley and heard a pair of KLH 9's driven by a transformerless amp.....truly a game changing experience. Several months later, heard a pair of Quad 57 ESLs, bought a pair and listened to them for many years with true pleasure. They've gone away and now using a pair of Harbeth 40.1's which sound to me like a giant pair of Quads
