I think your right that my problem might be the distance required from rear wall.Same for mu buddies di-pole Maggie 3.6 where he only has a ft. and half from rear wall.But hopefull I can find another apt which will afford me rectabgular room for placement.Sounds like the Qauds are one of the speakers tat can really benefig from a sond diffuser frame availible in a few of the catalogues out there.Have benn told 988's work fine with 100 solid state so 40 watt is getting close.Thought about these new Redwine Signatur 30 battery operated amps (read review at www.6moons.com) but for $3K yhey make a 70 watt apir of monoblocks that would be perfect.The Bel Canto Integrated or beautiful Pathos Classic 1 Mk.2 Hybrid at 110 watts might be the ticket.acn't do to much about squre (that whiy I have always set up speakers with wwide spread here with unequal disance to rear/side walls by at least 1/3 in length to reduce standing wave problems.But if I stick with low power either Silverline Sonattas or maybe the opposite in terms of x-over complexity a pair of Reference 3A.Someone bought their bookshelf of their top of the line Corian model (Royal Vituoso) appeals since they use very simple capicitors instead of comples x-overs maybe with a pair of single amp dual box TBI Magellan subs set very lowAppreciate tips on Quads and will read further.They fit my price pint up to $3500 used which seems to be a sweet point in used pricing.Again current speakers are great for small emnsemble non-complex muisc but maybe with qud problems a Bryston 4B ST,PS Audio GCA 250,or Bel Cano Ref's might do it with lare Audio Physic Virgo's or B&W 803D (can get very good deal off the $8K list( ,would handle complex muic and give more dynamics.They wouldn;t be much bigger than current Odeon Tosca's and be easier to place.It's just with a correct room nothing beats the Q@uads for the all important midrange especially with say a 100 EL24 driven amp which are out there.
Much thanks
