I am a bit of a Quad fan. I have stacked 57s (in need of restoration, working fine but with rolled off treble) and 2 sets of 63s. I've just finished (I hope) completely restoring the second of these sets, with new panels all round, and refurbed EHT units. They sound great!
But it had been about 5 years since I replaced just a few panels in the first set of 63s. I went back to look around the internet on what was happening on restorations - sources for materials, new videos on youtube, commentary on forums etc. I was quite surprised that I found relatively little new material. By "new material" I mean comments/questions from people who were eg fixing up a set or something.
So I wondered to myself - have quads in general sorta fallen out of favour? 10 years ago they were still much sought after and very much ranked in any top 10 or 20 of best speakers. Not so much now it seems.
Maybe my googling is below par. What say ye?
