Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: Hmmm.

Energy and vitality - yes, in spades. Having listened to Quads for 20 years now, I really don't equate rock with "loud" - but rather with driving energy and vitality - and classic rock of all kinds is well served (as are the Scorpions, but there's not a lot of subtlety there to reveal). I could never listen to Fleetwood Mac, Floyd, Hendrix, Supertramp, or any of their ilk on boxes again! Especially Hendrix, there was a lot of "fun with phase" effects in his music the full effect of which could never be captured with anything less than electrostatic response IMO. As always though, the room is the final arbiter - the quads need space around them to sprout wings, min 4' behind and to side in my opinion although others may disagree on the sides. I've never heard mine sound so good as when they got 8' behind and to the sides - which they have now, forever.
