I remember selling a pair of 63s with great reluctance to a rock enthusiast along with a Musical Fidelity 270, a powerful class a transistor amp. He blew them up a couple of times, then was told he had the wrong amp, changed the amp and blew them up again. I used Krell on the 63s also but I had some discretion about how loudly I played them. A friend still has the 57s I sold him in the mid 70s, he uses an 8 watt tube amp. We all have different tastes but I wouldn't use 63s in a room your size unless you like extreme nearfield listening. YMMV
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?
