Finally heard the quattros a couple of nights ago in Tacoma, WA Advanced Audio. Nice little shop with great stuff and friendly, informed staff. Anyway, I literally got dizzy and short of breath listening to a very familiar piece of music. This is not a step or two up from my beloved 2CE's but a small step down from the 5A's, which they also have on hand for comparison. I know what my next speaker will be and I have never repeated a brand before. Priors include; B&W, Apogee, Thiel, ACI among others.
Vandersteen Quattro
What's the buzz about Vandersteen's Quattro? Anybody hear them at CES 2005?
I have my ears on them, because my next pair of speakers will be time and phase aligned. To the best of my knowledge, that doesn't leave too many choices other than the Vandersteen, Meadowlark, and Thiel lines. Je pense le Gallo Reference 3A is time, but not phase, aligned.
Anybody know of other candidates?
Thanks,
Jay
