| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Cyber 211 & 800 !!!!Have tried to replace my 800s for thepast 2 years. I have heard lots and lots of amps in different price range. NO luck so far. The only one I do like is 211 but unfortunately it doesn't have enough juice to drive my Quatro... | |
| Stereophile Review of Quatro Wood Steve...!!! Forget the review. Quatros are NICE, REALY NICE. And Tom is right. They are overachievers in their price range [in my opinion(sock-vers)]. A definitive step up from 2Ces/3a. | |

| Stereophile Review of Quatro Wood Bob, I was also wondering how involved he was in the original review. Maybe....just maybe Wes used Fremer's notes as a reference and put a little spin with Puppys.Surely compering Woodys to Willson is a complement considering the price difference ... | |
| Aluminum in cld plinth Personally, I like hardwood for top - It is not a sound quality decision rather aesthetic. Wood also has a good acoustic, isolation and dampening properties. Arm-board...well, most guys recommend MDF for its properties. However to much MDF can cau... | |

| Favorite reviewer? Shadorne, I am not sure exactly where are you coming from but I think we are on the same side. My sources might not be as good as yours but to shade some light to those that are not exactly aware how audio press have changed in the past 10 years, ... | |
| Aluminum in cld plinth I am hardly an expert, actually very far from it.Some TT designs use aluminium as a plinth material.However sandwich is kind of new to me and might or might not be beneficial. It is hard to tell, at least from my point of view. I am working right ... | |

There is one in Midtown Manhattan2 West 45th StreetBetween 5th and 6th AvenuesAnd the other one in Downtown Manhattan888 Broadway at 19th StreetInsi... | |
| Aluminum in cld plinth It might be worth a try. How do you plan on implementing it into your design? All aluminium or sandwich together with another material? | |
