Quads 57 -

Ok. So let me start out by saying I am not in search for the worlds best speakers or the perfect setup.

I just want something that will make music to my ears and make my little toes tap with joys.My amp of choice is the Ayon Spirit III
My music is 80% Jazz, 10% Female vocals, 10% rock et. al. (paul simon/arlo guthrie, dylan eagles). My source is mostly Vinyl.
I currently have a B&W CM7 that I don't like much. Music sounds good, but no soul. Room size is 10 ft x 11 ft.
I top out at $4K on budget (and that's pushing it).
I am fairly close to pulling the trigger on a brand new refurbished 57 from Quads Unlimited.
So I guess what I am asking here is, if you have ever owned a 57, do you still have it? If not, how soon did you move on & why?

When I mean soul, I mean the music feels "alive". As in your eyes start to peal away the hollow boxes (speakers) to reveal fingers moving over strings, mouths gasping for air and looks that give a new meaning to improv's.

I am probably going to get flamed for this, but my original post was
" if you have ever owned a 57, do you still have it? If not, how soon did you move on & why?"

I don't want people recommending me other speakers, so please don't. I am still on the topic of the QUAD's and I would still sincerely appreciate answers from owners/ex-owners of the 57's.

Much appreciated.

Thanks for the responses and the advice on watching placements etc. Out of curiosity, what speaker cables do you guys run with your Quads.

thanks
