The impressive thing was that Led Zep sounded the same with a couple of
feet of flames emerging from the center of the speaker - for a while...

TBH I've long come to regard the Quads as "the world's largest pair
of headphones" because of the critical sweetspot, placing, etc.
Fortunately, the results when right are excellent, and the sound
can be enjoyed by others sitting elsewhere - if they are less fussy
about imaging.


Ever tried Stax 'Earspeakers'? Only about 400 quid a pair, I believe!!

I've tried earlier models from them, and did like them. But I tend to find
headphones don't give me the same 'out there' image, and tend to become
uncomfortable after a while.

Slainte,

Jim
