No, you can’t have the sound of a pair of Avalon Sentinels for 3,500 bucks, but you can achieve substantial musical enjoyment with these small boxes at a price that is accessible to most music lovers. Listening to the Avalon Sentinels in their main sound room was my top priority, but what I heard in the second room was just as amazing considering the price. The first whack on the side of the head came when visiting Acoustic Sounds years ago covering the Blues Masters concerts. The new Harbeth Compact 7ES-3 is the perfect example of this. Sometime back in the early 80’s Roger Van Oech wrote a book titled A Whack on the Side of the Head focusing on creative solutions to problems that one might not have considered without being taken outside of their comfort zone. Keep in mind, QA is a small company, so it’s not like you can call today and have a pair delivered tomorrow.
We’ll discuss that more in depth in a future update, but suffice to say the end result is better than new. An artisan shop, Quads Unlimited can work with your existing speakers, or find you a pair and do a complete rebuild. The room will be 13 x 16 feet and we’ve purchased a pair of rebuild 57s from Quads Unlimited. So follow us on the journey of putting together a system based around these wonderful speakers. While this sounds limiting at first, the second you put your favorite vocal record on the turntable, you forget about the Quad 57s limitations are and realize that what they do right, is intoxicating. Lastly, these are not serious rock and roll speakers, but again with the GamuT S9′s in room one, we’ve got that box ticked. And, yes, they have limited dispersion, making them a “one person” speaker, but building a system around the 57s is a somewhat self indulgent thing to begin with.

While this is not a full range speaker in the sense that they have limited output beneath about 45 hz, the quality of what is available is scrumptious. The original Quads have a tonal purity and coherence that is still a benchmark, over 50 years after their introduction. If you ask any number of audiophiles and speaker designers what they consider to be the holy grail of speakers, chances are high that many of them will answer “The Quad 57.”
