Okay, apologies to those interested parties, but I've decided to hold onto the Quads for now. When your wife says you shouldn't sell what most people would struggle to get through the front door, you've got to listen!
Thanks for the PMs and expressions of interest, and I'm genuinely sorry if anyone feels messed about.

No, only used them with the Graafs so far. The AI is on the Sonus Fabers.

Not really, the Graafs have the reputation (in the Far East especially) of being a match made in heaven, and it was on ESL forums over there that I got most of the information about Graaf in the first place. I blame those Hong Kong guys for making me buy the ESLs when they came up.

I can't imagine their listening rooms are terribly comfy....
100% humidity, 30 odd degrees and two miniature blast furnaces....

Yep, I don't know how they do it. Even in a miserable Irish summer the heat is bordering on excessive.
