Quad ESLs are here! PDF Print E-mail

large_4.jpg The wonderful folks who distribute Quad Electrostatics have been kind enough to send us a pair of Reference Series 2805s to show around!!!!

If you're serious about owning electrostatics and find hybrids just sound like two different types of speakers failing to play well together, then it's time to try some Quads.  They're wider than those "other" electrostats because they're NOT hybrids.  They're a ONE-WAY loudspeaker...just like the microphone that records the music you enjoy.  They won't shake the ground but they're reproduce a tympani crash at the symphony just like you were really there...filling the hall effortlessly but not artifically thumping you in the chest or rattling your teeth.  Get the idea?  THAT is why Quad 2805s and their big brothers, the 2905s keep winning awards all over the world.  They're just GREAT loudspeakers.

Stop in for a listen! 

 
Review: Walker Audio Talisman PDF Print E-mail
Written by Brian Kurtz   

talisman150dpicropped Here's a picture of Lloyd Walker's latest "too absurd to be true but it most certainly transforms your system" tweak, THE TALISMAN....comes complete with silly graphics on it, making it even more of a joke to show to clients and friends....BUT THIS THING REALLY WORKS! The Talisman really is an effective magic wand for your CDs and LPs!

I have shown this thing to everyone from "friends of ours who could care less, but sit there because we ask 'em to," to the tweakiest of the tweaks....EVERYONE WHO LETS US SHOW THE TALISMAN TO THEM HAS HEARD THE IMPROVEMENT IT MAKES ON BOTH CDs AND LPs!

Just get one, OK!?!?!?!   If you come into the shop and get the demo, you'll be $200. lighter, but FAR more ready to enjoy your audio system!
