Question for Art Sackman

In the phone conversation with The Devil, he told me that his audio
preferences were very similar to yours. What preferences would they be?

Art doesn't go gaga over Quads.

There are things I like about Quads
There are two things I don't like about them
difficulty of matching subs to get some bass
and there is just no beat to them.
Bad for rock music and blues.

After listening to Orions I realize how congested the Quads
get on classical and while female vocals can have a mesmerizing
texture as well as acoustic strings, they lack the subtleties
of realism. And while you hear much with Quads, you rarely feel
anything. They're great speakers for not disturbing the neighbors
but do need room to soundstage. I'll always love them, but
they don't play a piano.

That's why I lean more toward speakers like Harbeth these days. Lots
of feeling.

Art likes Vandersteens and vintage tube electronics. He has a Music
Hall TT and a Jolida CDP.

The Devils like Quads, Quads and Quads. He loves OTLs and 211s and
845s. He has an SME 30 TT and a dcs digital rig.

Yeah, real similar.

If you're a chronic drunk, this is the first I've heard of it.
