Despite the 57's having acoustic absorbing material fitted on the back of the speaker, and so have reduced rear radiation, they still like about 3 foot of clear space between them and a solid wall.Originally Posted by Andre
Agree with you about stacking 57's - absolutely sublime, the sense of presence is palpable. Unfortunately I simply do not have the room for such an arrangement in my living room.

I'm Neil.
Peter Lindley (from Spalding) had a design using a pair of stacked 57 Quads (he demoed at many audio shows, including Heathrow). He modified, re-built, and designed his own electronics..mostly amplification, though he did have a pair of his own speakers called New Age.
The stacked Quads were awesome but way to big. Sadly I think Peter is dead now which is a real shame, as he was a very talented designer. When his wife died in the early 90s he didn't cope well and turned to drink (very heavily). Not heard anything about him in many years...anyone know?
For about 6 years (1989-1995) it was magical...I for one miss you Peter.

The whole reason i refuse to spend lots of money on gear is because regardless of how much it costs it throw away consumer electronics at the end of the day. I buy the best sounding buget gear, if it breaks down i don't give a fuck.
