Have had the pleasure of listening to Quad, ESL-57s completely rebuilt and brought back to spec by the besy Quad guy on the East Coast, (NH guy). They're truly magical and will own my own set soon enough. I agree with the "better" British boxes. Spendor, Harbeth, Graham, Rogers... two under the radar speaker manufacturers not in business anymore that were/are EQUALLY fantastic are Symdex and Equation. Have owned both and currently playing a set of Equation 7, hand made in Belgium in the early 00s. Just simple 2/way smaller vented columns done as best as anyone has ever done. Ceramic tweeter & proprietary polypropylene mid-bass driver in Spanish Birdseye Maple. Have to say, been at this a long time & rarely do these come up but if you ever find a set, should move quickly. Extraordinary in every way but the mids (voices especially) are over the top great. Just my opinion.
Speakers known for great midrange.
I’m looking for a pair of stand mount speakers with great midrange. Smooth,and syrupy. Powering them with Pass INT-25. Any suggestions are appreciated.
