No, they were working fine:ner:. Even Alan, who is used to the 57's said they sounded 'dark' when we first heard them after the Frugels. People who are used to er.....modern, bright sounding systems, often find the Quads dull, whereas to me, they sound natural and unforced. I found it a huge relief to get them back into the music room, connected to the Leak and get lost in the music at comfortable levels for me - probably ear splitting for others.
More anon, after Alan posts his report...in full.....with three part harmony etc etc. Come on Alan, you must be home by now:)
