Rogers Studio 1 / LS6 and or Quad 405 / 606 / 909 Listen In or Near Milton Keynes

I'm looking at building a second system comprising of older kit, however my memory of these items is slightly tinted with rose coloured glasses!!

How do they sound now, having been used to modern hifi.

Is there anyone in or very near to Milton Keynes that could let me listen to their Rogers speakers.

Similar request for Quad power amps.

Thanks Martin

I'm no expert, but have been doing a bit of research as I'm up for some Quad - general view is that 34/44 preamp era kit is good, but needs to be serviced (cap's, etc replaced).

Plus it looks great!

I personally would steer clear of the 34 pre-amp. It's not Quad's best effort. The sound is a bit dull and flat to my ears.

Ive recently bought a quad 306, really like it,used with a novafidelty x40 as pre, its fast clear and musically involving, well chuffed. I payed a £200 which seems a bit over the odds but it s a very clean example

Thanks for the offer Steve. It's a bit far.

Thanks for the feedback so far.
I have heard various reports, good and bad about different Quad preamps, so in the first instance was going to get a Quad power amp and feed from a 99 CDP (has volume control inbuilt) which I already have.

You must have a different type of Quad 34 to the one I own.

I don't own one. Never have, but I've tried a couple. That's why I don't use one.

How about the power amps as in the first post.
Thanks
