Ahem!! I am still here, sorry to interrupt this fascinating thread

unfortunately as a non "techie" I am lost by the abbreviations

However,
as the originator of this thread, I would like to interject here to
ask a supplementary question while all you so knowledgeable people
are
assembled, simply assuming you choose the best possible option to
drive the Quad 989's, what do you think of them in relation to the
vast legions of "moving coil" speakers out there. Yes I know it
eventually boils down to personal choice but as someone who is about
to fork out £5000 (sterling) for a pair I would appreciate some
vindication of my choice before I sign the dotted line. I have a
pair
on demo and frankly I am stunned by the sound of the speakers, am I
imagining this or have I got possibly the best speakers around,
especially for classical music.


you have said all that matters

nothing else matters

You also say

have I got possibly the best speakers around, especially for classical
music ?




good chance


What a succinct reply, better than the way my question was presented,
thank you Dave. I suppose I am like just everyone else out there, I
only want someone to say I made the best choice. Also, in buying
Electrostatics surely its quite a break away from the usual purchase and
I do admit to going through some self-examination as to my reasons for
my choice, I then put on those Quads again and I am reassured.
