Surprisingly Dermot things are strangely quiet here. The rads are out of the box and working. Not sure if it is just shock or is there a scheme afoot to have them removed asap. I am watching my back and wearing my motorcycle crash helmet as a sensible precaution unfortunately this means I cant hear a thing.

I dont want to say too much yet in case I am made bring them back to Kettering. Suffice to say I am delighted. They have the OTA treble panels which are brighter and more detailed than the original quad panels. The room is not ideal yet as I am still a bit close to them but to my novice ears I think I have something good. Being honest the spendors were very nice with the jadis also. I will need to switch back to reassess at some point.

The speakers will take some time to "settle in" - the amp too I imagine. I know it's the black arts and grown men should know better but valve amps and electrostatic speakers are almost organic in the way they become unsettled when moved about.

You might consider firing them down the other direction in the room? Speakers at the window or opposite wall? That would give you more space.
