Quad ESL lover's, what other speakers would you consider or own that is very close to the natural sound of the Quads?

They all sound different. Quads are a pain in the ass and have a very small sweetspot. On the other hand...

You'll get some of the dispersion qualities from other dipoles but the imaging is different on different speakers. I don't really think quads sound natural as much as they sound musical.

I think you will get a similar type of musicality out of some of the english speakers like the spendors and maybe out of some di-poles. The phase coheerence is more like a dunlavy but the freq is night and day different.

If you like the quad midrange, try some ls3/5a's or spendor 3/5's as well as looking into other planar speakers.
