Thinking of putting to rest ESL63 for Harbeth M30.

I often wonder how many Quad owners have had multiple sets because they sell a pair and wind up buying another and another and ETC. Nothing else sounds like a Quad, especially 63's. Knock yourself out and try other speakers but there is a high probability you would wind up buying another pair of Quads sooner rather than later. Plus, there are many ways that help 63's where they are weak like super tweeters and Gradient subs. I prefer 63's with tubes and the new KT120's are delightful. Have fun...

There are plenty audiophile grade speakers that are comparable to the Harbeth speakers and cost less. If price is no factor than have it all your way. I love Harbeth, PMC, Spendor, Revel, Stirling, and a few more. Even some custom builders do a spectacular job. Keep that in mind my friend.

I swapped a pair of 57s for Spendor SP2/2 years ago. The first thing I noticed was the veil that appeared. I love the Spendors and still run them on another rig. However, I never forgot how good the Quads were. I ended up buying another pair of 57s and they are every bit as awesome as I remembered.

I still remember the first time I heard the 63s can't say that about very many speakers

I went from ProAc Response 2.5 to Harbeth C7-ES3. But keep the Quads...
