I have a really nice pair of Quests that I got from a friend that took better care of them than himself! They are 1993 and ALL original. At this present time I am using a Cambridge Audio 840A v2 to power them. I know this is not what most of you use but do not under estimate this little amp as it has no problem sending 200 watts in 4 ohms and less for 1800$ Most people I know that have much bigger systems than mine have been quite impressed.
However, as I said, the Quests are 1993 and original but look like they were never used. Should I change the panels first or buy seperates first? I cannot afford to do both at the same time. I am going to go with Bryston as I had a chance to listen with my speakers and was very impressed to say the least! Wonderful amps!
The sound was definately better but would it make sense to first change the panels? I can say that they do seem to sound fine and are equal in terms of balance and tone but I get nervous hearing about all the people always changing panels after a certain amount of years. Is this a necessity or should it be determined on an individual basis?
I could change the panels but would have to wait a year to save enough to buy a good power amp. Advice from all you pros would be appreciated.
