@pinwa Firstly, my reference to Quad ESL's is not the first reference to the Quad Brand made within this Thread, there are other Posts referencing more than one other Brand other than Final Audio that are producing ESL Speakers.
My comments offered was prompted by another Poster making their experiences of ESL Speakers known, along with their referencing how they thoroughly enjoyed their experience of a Quad ESL Model, and one which I am very very familiar with..
My own input is about how Pricing has been discovered to be substantially different between Brands producing ESL Speakers and a Quad ESL Speaker Model.
I was not 'off topic', when the overall content within this Thread is introducing other Brands, revisiting the Quad Brand, is totally acceptable as the Thread is now about encouraged to be off topic from Final Audio Products and covers a broader range of Brands producing ESL Speakers.
My own contribution explains my experiences of One Brand where most encounters are in homes in resident systems I am very familiar with, with such regular experiences had over a long duration, my assessments have in my view, a kudos, and worthwhile making available to a wider reader base.
My ESL experiences is not limited to one Brand, but these other Brands Models will have been encountered at an event, where when encountered are used in a unfamiliar system and surrounding. I could have added additional Brands to the Thread, but remain not be able to report in a way that I feel would have kudos. Such past encounters, now only memories, have little value as a means to offering up an assessment for a wider reader base to ponder the info offered.
My Post does not recommend any Brand, the content is to encourage considering Retail Pricing Differences and encourages extension of Investigation to produce a increased base info for oneself.
As always, If a Forum Member is not able to appreciate the content of another Forum Members Post within a Thread, that as the outcome is fine by myself, even when it is my own offered content receiving expressed discontent.
In this case, the Thread is about Final Audio which I do not know the Retail Price. Content offered by myself, flagged up the difference in Retail Price between Quad ESL and Popori ESL's, which are both Brands that are not included in the Threads Topic, both are Alien to the OP's initial inquiry- Yes / No? I can't help but think, the follow up post as a response as a response to my Post is unusually negatively reactive.
In the case those who are Members of Onlookers and do not like content added to Threads by 'pindac', those who are finding contributions repellent. Please scroll on past the contribution offered. 'pindac' has encouraged this as a practice on many a occasion, 'pindac', is not wanting to make any forum members interaction unpalatable.
'pindac' has seen the content of all Posts within this Thread, and has certainly not added a content to unbalance the info already made known by others.
The non participant onlooker of this Thread, if expressing an interest in ESL Speakers, who may be at the place a purchase is looking attractive, along with all the Brands referred to within this Thread, now as a result of the latest added content, has an increased info to consider, albeit, Price Comparisons Retail vs Price Comparisons for Used Items, when creating their shortlist.
