In Reply to: KEF 105.2s are bright/harsh?? I want smooth speakers! Recommendations?? Anyone heard Rogers LS5/9? Other advice??? posted by Mr Blue Sky on March 27, 2007 at 15:08:48:
Harbeth, Spendor, Quad dynamic and ESL, Stirling broadcast (LS3/5A v2 only), Audio Note, Vandersteen are the ones i know. There must be many more. The original Quad '57, refurbished, still sounds good; the refurbished '67s even better. They are effortlessly transparent. But it looks like the used market is mainly in the UK. The '57 requires a very stable amp and not a lot of power. It is well known as an amp frier because it is so reactive! (Not the other way around). The '67 is also reactive, but a bit more forgiving.I don't know when Quad installed the cut off circuit that would protect the current-based amp from its own current surges into a reactive load. You need to talk with a Quad ESL expert before you go down this road, but I think many small tube amps (15-30 Wpc)with output transformers would work.
