The price for the Quest panels in the USA is $675 plus shipping and includes a 5 year warranty. Ship them to somebody in the USA, even somebody from this site who has good history and you can talk to and/or check up on via other sites as to their integrity.
While I am new to this site, I would...
You would be crazy to settle for the Pioneer stuff, especially more so that it is ice based amplification. I tried several Digital amps (not anything by Pioneer) and they cannot compare, even close, to traditional based amplification, and are light years behind the Krell equipment. Find...
Ipaudio2, I shower almost everyday (there are some Sundays that I miss) and don't see how my cleanliness has anything to do with the sound. JK- I think I am fine with the Krell which can drive a 1.5 ohm load (and the Z's are supposed to have a more stable load than the standard Quests anyway)...
Erik, Thanks. As far as room treatments go, I think I am pretty good in this area, at least based on past experience. While I have some home made panels that are designed to sit behind these speakers (for rear dampening), I have not used them based on my set-up as I have heavy curtains behind...
CAP, I am planning on getting in touch with you later today to discuss on the phone. I want to especially discuss your statement of helping to install the panels. I just don't want to jump to the conclusion that new panels will answer all of my questions and concerns about the sound. You have...
User211, and I appreciate that feedback. I have no imbalance between the panels, at least not audibly. I will try to perform a test with a sound pressure meter and a test signal to determine if there is a non-room based imbalance by measuring at 1 meter from the panels (I suspect this is the...
This is exactly what I am trying to determine, is it the panels or the speakers sound in general? The bass is not as punchy as I am used to, but it does goes fairly deep. I don't get a strong impression of speed with the panels, which is what ML are pretty darn good at, from what I can tell...
Over this past weekend I picked up a pair of used Quest Zs and got them hooked up on Saturday night/Sunday morning with a bit of placement playing around.
I have listened to them for roughly two days and asked my wife what she thought. She rarely has an opinion on sound changes when I make a...
While I am new to this site, I can attest to the ability to put together an extremely rewarding system that combines both 2-channel excellence and good HT (which I am much less concerned with, but enjoy during a high energy movie nonetheless). I have played around with several preamps over the...
I'll do my best to compare the sound of the Quest Z's to the Spire and Vantage (assuming I have time to listen at the dealers) and also in comparison to the Wilson's. This of course assumes the Quests are in good working condition. I honestly would really like to see them beat out the Wilsons...
211, thanks for the feedback. While the seller of these speakers claims them to be in perfect working condition, I am of th opinion that the panels will likely need to be replaced in the near future. I am planning to visit a ML dealer to take a listen to the Vantage and the Spire to get a feel...
David Matz - you reference a recent post with a similar topic, not sure if you are referencing the replacement of panels or the comparison to the Wilson or which portion of my post you have indicated there was similar thread. I have looked many places, on and off site for comparisons between...
Just looking for some feedback from possible owners of both Wilson and Martin Logan speakers. I presently run Wilson W/P 5.1 and am picking up a used pair of ML Quest Z speakers this weekend. Reportedly the speakers performance is excellent by the seller - meaning the panels, woofer and...
