Quads - Just a couple of questions


I am considering replacing my long beloved Magge 1.6's with a new pair of Quads. (2805) Okay make that 3 questions.

1) How can I find my nearest dealer.
2) Can anyone tell me what to expect vis a vis my 1.6's (other than price)?
3) Power requirements / efficiency?

3. The Quads are both and inefficient and limited in thier abilty to handle power. You should pursue quality amp over sheer power.
2.You are tallking low level resolution vs the 1.6 s need to be played loud. Both are high level resolution. Both tend to beam frequencies verticallly.
1. Quad should have a website with dealer locator.
Duane- I agree with you. OTL is the way to go. Atma-sphere M-60. As if Ralph needed another plug.
"would atma m60 have enought power for a 4 ohm load with less than 87 db? Would you need the zero-autoformer?"

I am against the autoformer which IMO is just a a fancy name for transformer and defeats the purpose of the OTL.

I think 60 wats is enough. The amp is doing so much right(class A, otl, triode, power supply)it gives you a real 60 watts.
