I own a Linbrook Signature System w/bass modules in natural Cherry. In every aspect of sound quality, they are in a totally different league from any cone and dome Quad speaker.
Like Cdc2, I couldn't actually tell you how the Linbrooks sound like but the Seas Excel magnesium cones are very revealing of electronics/wire/power cords/tweaks. They aren't too forgiving of poor sources or equipment either. I usually drive the Linbrooks with my ARC REF2 MkII pre / Rowland 8T amp combo.
With a friend's Meridian 588 cdp, the sound was outstanding and very musical. But with my current Cary 303/200, the sound is sterile and cold. I recently hooked up a $250 JVC RX-ES1 digital receiver and to my great surprise, I'm enjoying music again, despite the Cary!
Btw, Ty is a wonderful person to deal with. Goes above and beyond the call of duty to help his customers.
