May I Please Hear Your Quad 57s or Open Baffles?

Might there be anyone on Long Island or in the NYC area who has Quad 57s?

Or any Acoustat 3s or 4s?

Or any Open Baffle speakers, be they Lowthers or

http://manzanitaaudiosolutions.com/products.html

or http://www.pureaudioproject.com/

….or you name it.

I’ve googled for hours but can’t find any possible local owners.

Flying’s a problem, so traveling hundreds of miles is not an option.

Willing to pay a reasonable fee for a 1/2 hour session.

Thanks

He was often demoing with restored Quad 57s. To me, there is no other speaker like it. If all else fails, reach out to Robin- he has a website and is an active, but small, importer/dealer. My 57s are in boxes awaiting restoration. Have had various Quads since the early ’70s though I now use horns. good luck,

I heard a few interations of the post-63 models--not even sure I could tell you the model numbers--but that was some years ago. My other pair is a vintage pair of Crosby modded '63s, which I haven't fired up in years. I always thought the 57 was the better speaker in terms of coherence, though the 63 was a more useable speaker. Pray tell- what am I missing? :)
