Quad 57 stacked v Wilson watt puppy 6/7


Can anyone tell me how a pair of stacked quads with ribbon horn tweeters would compare with the wilson watt puppies and the yamaha ns1000??
The quads are the best speakers I have ever owned. My past speakers include
harbeth 30, audio physic avanti, avantgarde duo horns, reynaud offrandes.
i understand the Yamaha and the wilson watt puppies second hand are some of the greatest speakers of all time???

the scintilla has merely an iota of the quad 57's timbral accuracy. look at the driver material and "speed' of the drivers.
can you say an apple is better than an orange ??

the quads and any cone speaker are two totally different technologies. one can never be better than another. they are different.

one may prefer one to the other.

in my case any cone system comes in second when compared to stacked quads. however, i would not say the quads are better.
it's all subjective, but no cone speaker is preferable to stacked quad 57s. you can have your scintilla, duetta signature, martin logan, or any other speaker. the 57 is less inaccurate within its range than any other speaker, period.
my statements are subjective, based upon my perceptions. are perceptions factual or merely an opinion ?

if perceptions are facts, than i am basing my opinions upon facts. if perceptions are opinions than my statements are purely subjective.

what is a fact ? if statements are made based upon audition of components it becomes necessary to establish, if any facts cann accrue from listening experiences.

semantics aside, listen to stacked quads and then make up your mind about their timbral accuracy.

i stand by my statements regarding cone designs. i prefer panels to cones. i believe cones are more timbrally inaccurate than most panel designs.
