The Quads are all about 2 things: Midrange and imaging. With the right source material, they're hard to beat in both regards. They are absolutely not about loudness. If you try to play them too loud, they will arc internally, which you can hear. Each arc burn a little hole in the plastic membrane that produces sound.I equate rock with loud. If you don't, the Quads may work for you. Energy and vitality? Hell, yes! Just not loudness.
