Quads 57 -


Ok. So let me start out by saying I am not in search for the worlds best speakers or the perfect setup.

I just want something that will make music to my ears and make my little toes tap with joys.My amp of choice is the Ayon Spirit III
My music is 80% Jazz, 10% Female vocals, 10% rock et. al. (paul simon/arlo guthrie, dylan eagles). My source is mostly Vinyl.
I currently have a B&W CM7 that I don't like much. Music sounds good, but no soul. Room size is 10 ft x 11 ft.
I top out at $4K on budget (and that's pushing it).
I am fairly close to pulling the trigger on a brand new refurbished 57 from Quads Unlimited.
So I guess what I am asking here is, if you have ever owned a 57, do you still have it? If not, how soon did you move on & why?

We've had a lot of customers with Quads over the years. In the last 35 years, one thing has been apparent in that time: Quad owners are often very loyal to the product. Given the span of time involved, the 57 and 63 have seemed to enjoy a loyalty that may well be number one in the business (the 57 is a product that has been around for over 50 years!). I can't think of any other speaker where I have met so many people that have held on to the speaker for as long as many Quad owners often do- literally decades.

The newer Quads have not been around that long and so comparatively, like most speakers, don't really have a track record, so these comments apply specifically to the 57 and 63.
