@toddverrone,
Believe me, it was killing me. They were a beautifully maintained pair of ESL 57s from an old audio writer. He just didn't have a place for them anymore. But neither do I. The only space I have for speakers shares room with my home theater system, and they have to be somewhat narrow to fit either side of the projected screen image. So all manner of box speakers work there. But the Quads are so wide they would just be in the way of the image all the time. And I thought about placing them somewhere to move in for occasional listening sessions, but I've already pushed my wifely luck with the speakers I have littering the house. The Quads would be a lot harder to put anywhere discrete for the WAF factor.
