I have two pair of Quart Separates powered by Macintosh in my Honda Civic. The system would be perfect if I could put it in my Leased Accord as the road noise kills a lot of the sound. It is a pro system. The home Quart is another story. I was a consultant and buyer for Sensouous Sounds in Tampa. I liked the full range Quart when used with real front end and Purist Audio Design cabels. Quart is god stuff. I'm running Thiel in my home system. Quart is not Thiel, but it is better than the consumer junk sold at the mass electronic stores.
MB Quart
While only a fledgling audiophile, I have recently purchased a decent system for music and home theater consisting of a Marantz SR-8000 receiver, Pioneer DV-05 DVD/CD player (THX Ultra certified), MB Quart QLS 1030 fronts, QLS 330 Center, QLC 50 surrounds and subwoofer with DH Labs T-14 Bi wired to the fronts. While I know that this does not compare to many of your setups, I have enjoyed it immensely to this point. My question concerns the MB Quarts. I understand that they have an excellent reputation in car stereo circles but their home speakers seem to be little known. I cannot find reviews anywhere and hear virtually no discussion about them. I have found a few reviews on audioreview.com and they are all positive. Has anyone heard these speakers or have an impression of the brand in general? Any suggestions on what the next step in improving my system should be (oh boy, I probably left myself open on that one). Any comments are greatly appreciated.
