Excellent review and read Simon.
Do not worry too much about the volume control, just turn off the lights and when you see the sparks and a lightshow coming from the panels then you know when to tuirn down the volume :-)

Re: Quad ESL
Great review Simon.Good to see you have warmed to them so quickly.
Looks like you have most listening options very much covered off now and all in the one room.

Thanks Sligolad. If that happens I'll just throw my glass of whiskey at it to put out the fire.
Tony, the only problem now is that I'll never get time to listen to the Sonus Fabers in the sitting room...

Re: Quad ESL
Great review Simon! I really enjoyed that. :)
Re: Quad ESL
Took me a while to find the right position and settings for it Simon but I now have it dead center and slightly forward.
It is only ever on about 25% volume but it really helps at low listening levels for my small room.
It powers up once it detects a signal from one of the pre outs so I never even remember it is connected as it is behind a table in the middle of the room.
Cloneys have one which you could try out.
Cheers, Pearse.
