What amp are you using the Ruarks with Dan? I had a pair of Prologue 1s for a while & with Quads they always sounded a little 'woolly'.

Have you ever heard the Gale GS301 speakers? They look and sound very similar. Not common though.

Trying to remember what amps I had at the time/tried them with? They were certainly a bit vague with a Quad 306 using a Quad 77 as a pre (&, I think, with the 77 itself). Can't really compare though, the Prologues are a whole different animal to the ones you've got & intended more for AV use rather than 'Hifi'.

No, Dan - do not use them like this. They’ll sound rubbish and you may well damage the voice coils.
