Fi Preamps
See if you can find Art Dudley's original review in Listener since he describes them best. I have 2 of them and am very happy with them.

subwoofer for Quad 988 electrostatics
I couldn't agree more with Blptwp. And I love his fine wine and coke analogy. It's spot on. Like the Quads (I have both 989's and Crosby 63's), his post has "perfect pitch".

You may want to consider the Quad 989's. They cost less, you will still get the Quad sound and more bass with the two extra bass panels. Before you consider the other choices (all of which are excellent), consider trying to audition 989's in your ...
