| Jadis J-2 2. Is it completely insane to buy decades-old speakers,No. As long as they're good. Mine are original matched pair consecutive Quad ESLs. | |

| Cost of state of the art? @bdp24 Yes. Thanks. I'm familiar with the Starker. I may go for the original Mercury some day. I'm not a fan of AS reissues finding them a little processed for my taste. I have an adequate Tortelier on HMV. | |
