To avoid any misunderstanding, this post is not about ESL's but Quad's
dynamic speakers (21/22L?). A claim was made in another post that these
are "much better" than Spendor, Proac, Dynaudio. I was wondering if
people strongly agree or disagree with that.

I happen to own Spendor BC-1's and occasionally toy with the idea of
either a current Spendor or a Proac/Dynaudio model as possible upgrade.
However, if 21/22L's are better that will surely simplify my fantasy
life. All in all, are the Quads an improvement on BC-1's or more of
a horizontal move?

Thanks and I do know I have to make any purchase decisions myself. I am
merely curious about the opinion of those who happen to know these
speakers.

I believe the claim was that ESLs are much better. However, I'm also
curious about these speakers.

Disagree, but there's no need for strength! :-)

They are an improvement, but only because they're thirty years newer!
Try new Spendors, or particularly the Dynaudio Audience 52SE.

Quad Dynamic Speakers: A sign of being tied to the Yankee dollar.

No, I've never heard them,but in my extremely arrogant opinion,
I reckon the rather low-priced Quad dynamic (moving coil) speakers
are unlikely to be anywhere near the best examples of the art.

At times I have come across the phrase "Wharfdale Quad" seemingly
implying as if the two companies had merged. Is that the case? Or are
Quad producs still eparate?
