I have two quad 303 bi-amped using cables I purchased through david Laine. The one question I have is the one amp that drive's the bass runs warmer than the...
Hi, the answer is no - the power output to the bass is higher so the bass amp will run hotter. I have Quad 303 bi-amped IMF monitors for some thirty years -...
Hey Ivan, The amp does not run hot without a signal, I had both of these amps fully serviced at QS&D( Quad service center in U.S)had power caps/speaker caps...
... bias ... Hi, I'd add that if serial number of 303 is higher than 11500 then there is no need for solder iron to regulate bias current. see upgrades on...
Up until a few months ago I didn't even know Quad made "conventional" speakers..... With Cones... It appears some of you have them. How good are they compared...
I think the current range aren't bad but (as I have a taste for mini monitors)I really like the Quad 10 monitors that Spendor made for the 77 series. I regret...
Hello All, I have just joined this group as I am disposing of vintage kit, some of which might interest members. The following is being sold: 2 x Quad ELS 57...
Welcome to the group..... I'm new also - have been here a week or so. Where are you located and how much do you want for your 57's? I just built up a pair over...
Hi Steve, The speakers were always very well looked after but I haven't heard them for 13 years!!!! Yes, true. I had them at my flat in London when I got...
Yup - it's very expensive to ship them across the pond.. Oh Well - Thanks anyway. E-Bay would probably be a great place to sell them.. Good luck, Steve ... ...
On this subject, has anybody any suggestions as to the most economical but safe ways of shipping speakers between the US and UK? Regards, Fred. Steve Cher...
Shipping to the Us from the UK is now very expensive because none of the firms want to ship small items and the Quads are small in their eyes. They have to go...
Well - I never checked it out myself, but "other people" say it's $500 to $600 to ship them across. It sounds kind of high to me - when QUAD was selling and...
I shipped my ESL 57a from London to Canada and back. Get the proper boxes from Quad in Huntingdon, put sheets of hardboard between the polystyrene inserts and...
I will never own ESLs but can well imagine how vulnerable they would be. I take it the panels aren't so well sealed as to be stressed by altitude if air...
Heh :-) Well put points. Maggies can become useful screens or easels though :-) Fred. Steve Cher <haltechrx7@...> wrote: Well - I never checked it out...
We had no problem finding shippers. There are plenty of companies that put container loads together and they don't mind how small your shipment is though...
Thanks Robert, A couple of names for the list. What were costs like? Regards, Fred. Robert Deas <deas@...> wrote: I shipped my ESL 57a from London to...
Which way are you going? The cost varies a lot. It cost us four times as much from the UK to Canada than going back! Some people come and collect and so on...
How many of you listen with the front grills off?? There is a hazard doing this, but it's worth the risk to me since they sound so much better. I have always...
Having three small kids - I would not even consider removing either the front or rear grills. I do agree, possibly through aging and as the grills losen up -...
If you take away the rear grilles you will lose a large amount of stiffness in the structure. That is why there are so many screws holding it in place. Paul ...
As far as the front grilles are concerned, I have found that, over time, the sides of the grilles (especially if they have been removed in the past for...
I've seen Honeycomb perforated metal used to replace the stock grills. It seemed to be a very good idea. Much closer to no grill, but with some protection. On...
In view of the heat and thinking of the glass panel mounted within metal framing, might it be possible to "shim" the glass with pieces cut from Mica transistor...
There was a pic of a stacked pair on eBay a few days ago. Do a search on www.ebay.co.uk and it should come up. Think the seller was 'emporium-shed' or...
Just read the review of the modern Quad Valve amps with KT88's in Hi Fi World. Makes me wish I had the funds! The review ofthe Pre with it was interesting too...
