Emerald Physics: Same as the Quads in the fifties?

Let me premise that I've never listened to Emerald Physics speakers. But I have been reading lots of audiogoners' opinions on them. Based on what I've read, I would conclude that we have some sort of revolutionary product here, something that can be compared to Quads ESL57 when they came out in 1957. What do you guys think? That is, it looks like we have: a) a new technology; and b) a sub-$10K product (the CS.1) that is superior to products that cost 5 times as much...and a sub-$4K speaker (the CS.2) that performs better than most speakers in the $10K to 20K range.

Do you think the analogy is appropriate?

You've never heard the product, yet you claim it's revolutionary and remarkable. Are you really to be taken seriously?

I accept the fact that you're honest, but I honestly don't take your statements that seriously. Along with the original AR turntable, the Altec VOTT and one or two others, the Quad 57 is a true landmark product. I don't see anything remotely suggesting that the Emerald Physics is or will be a member of that group. Over time my opinion will be proven right or wrong. Two things I am right about, today, is that you called the EPs revolutionary and characterized their performance as remarkable.

BTw, I too have never heard the Emerald Physics, but they appear to be a very interesting design that offers high value.
