Somehow you can tell they're putting out incredible sound even though it's only a video. It sounds like the band is playing in your living room. Amazing.
I did a careful comparison ( anyone can try it ) with the other Archie Shepp tracks on youtube and this is the only one where they seem to be sitting,playing live, in front of you; a heavenly hi-fi setup.
moses wapshot: stick to low-to-moderate power (20 - 40 watts) and they will do just fine! I used my pair of 57's with a Bedini 25/25 for 12 years without problem!
They do sound good but there is something weird about listening to high res speakers on computer speakers. I guess one mentally adjusts and compares them to what one would expect to hear if the Quads were replaced by ordinary speakers. As to how precisely one can imagine that, that's another question.
btw congratulations on owning quads and especially ESL 57s. I've wanted a pair all my life. But don't they blow easily and aren't you up the creek if they do? Mind you I'm not a heavy metal fan but I would want to hit 90db now and then ...
I'm buying a pair of Quad ESL 57 speakers tomorrow....can't wait for the special treat.
