Right On! Dtc,I am not certain about the customer capture segment for the SCS4T. Hopefully, the new CEO will stick to the CS 1.7, 2.7 and 3.7 loudspeaker lines!Happy Listening.

Quantum QRT QX4
Thanks! for sharing. I recently heard one of these units in a Naim, PCM & Nordost Blue Heaven set-up. The sound was very good, very real on acoustic music. I do not know how much the Qx4 played a part (if any) during the demo session.
