My father is on his 2nd set of Quad ESL 2905s already.
The 1st set had a panel failure, and also one speaker kept triggering his McIntosh amp (MC501s) protection/distorting then recovered and played same track again without fault.
His 2nd pair also has one unit that triggers protection, yet played fine for a fortnight once spades were fitted.
Now speaker regular & intermittently causes amp to fault (and to whichever mono amp it is connected.)
Quad have offered a replacement set, but there is no guarantee that these will resolve the problem.
He tried to part ex against Tannoys, but the industry grapevine has it that they have acute reliability issues.
Should it be caveat emptor when buying new Quads or 2nd hand 2905/2805 ESLs?
Has anyone else had problems with the new Quad ESLs?
