Dear Sir,

I purchased the "Baby" through Washington Highend Audio earlier this year. It is input directly from a Quad FM3 Tuner and powering vintage factory Birch ply Lowther Acousta cabinets with DX3 drivers (old style whizzer, later phase equalizer and PM series magnet cavity filled with high density foam). The clarity and presence of voice, brass and strings are particularly good. Overall balance is surprisingly even with no sibilance or harshness with the bass extension on organ music being extremely clean. Bags of headroom as one would expect with these highly efficient speakers.

Purely as an experiment I tried it with my Quad ESL63s, not expecting it to drive them well being much less efficient and a difficult load. Although it could not reach high sound levels in a large room, the imaging and frequency range were very impressive and one never tired of extended listening.

Very good all round performance for a very reasonable price.

Congratulations!

Sincerely,

David J. Millea-Hunt
