Hi Barry,
2905s or stacked 57s are very cool - I love 'em both (for their strengths), but I love the Lockwoods even more, overall :)Quote:
I'm surprised to read this Marco, having now got some idea what it is you want from an audio system.
The Quad 2905s take a completely different approach to that of Tannoys. Presumably the Tannoys 'do for you' better than the Quads would.
Incidentally, I've effected some upgrades to my mains set-up recently (with something that I never thought would work - more later on a separate thread), which have significantly raised the bar, sonically, since you last heard the system. If you find yourself up my way again sometime soon, please call by for a sesh (usual booze and munchies apply) as I'd value your opinion :cool:
Marco.
It's probably fortunate that you found the Tannoys, as I don't think the Quad 2905s would work well in your listening room. Being a dipole design, the Quads need plenty of room behind them. They might work when placed near a rear wall, if that wall was covered with sound absorbing material, however I have never seen this done.Quote:

The 57's would work as they are front radiating.They don't hit restrictions like the later dipoles. People moan about bassless Quads but you stack a pair & everything will be apparent. I've even seen triplets per channel

Not sure if its a bargain though... but interesting
If you want to hear how horrid a room with too much damping behind the speakers sounds, try the upstairs demo room at KJW1. Martin Logans sound superb apparently, but little else did when I was last there. they may well have re-modelled it by now though.....
Some of those Denon turntables were judged inferior to the Techies at the time and many of their the arms were pants as I remember.....Quote:

The one i heard once was laid in a Carrera marble plinth, well the top section was marble anyway!
