    Nice if you've got the room..

    An unusual arrangement: not stacked as such, more simply doubled up. I'm not sure about the imaging with this arrangement; at best the sound will appear to come from midway between each speaker pair.

    Even so I'm envious. I have tried stacked 57s and they are absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately I don't have room for them, so I have to make do with a single pair.

    would have thought if you have room for 2, then 4 wouldnt be too much of a problem. how are they meant to sit?

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Oh it is Grant. Stacked Quads have one speaker stacked above a second. They present a large surface area which would block out too much light. They really are visually imposing.

    Indeed. Statics usually are. :-)

    I found room for two ESL57's, in a Mini! the vintage BMC type. That is how I took them to Quad for service about 37 years ago.
