Hi Henry

I think we've had this discussion before...

 

I don't know if visiting the Quad room at the show would've helped (I didn't go in but by all accounts, the sound was yawn inducing) but you really should get a pair of ESL-989s home for an audition.  WM knows your taste better than I do and he's heard the 989s at JJ's so he should be well placed to comment on their suitability for you.
