Not mine all updated with dada mods,sound per pound the best value kit i have and will never part with it.Doesn't the 33 need attention after so many years ?
It must be what ? 50+ years old ?
Not sure how helpful this is but ten years or so back I ran a BD160 into a pair of 63s. Tried the 160 with hi-cap/32.5 and then a 72. Preferred the 72, sounded great, fast and bouncy, semed especially suited to listening to Can on vinyl. But became uncomfortable getting drawn into the world of swapping cards, upgrading cables etc and sold my Naim gear. Now run them with Exposure 21/18s which also sounds great albeit maybe a little warmer and slightly more detailed.

That's my experience with Naim and Exposure, albeit not with Quads. I find Naim fast and bouncy but edging into harsh, Exposure keeps most of the bounce but loses the harshness. Quad sounded better than either into my then Linn Keilidhs, which I loved.Not sure how helpful this is but ten years or so back I ran a BD160 into a pair of 63s.

For over 10 years I had a 12/160 combo driving ESL 57s.
I listen to a wide range of music, prog rock, early music, classical orchestral etc. I loved this setup but changes in domestic arrangements meant I couldn't find room for the ESLs and replaced them with Linn Saras.
