So, who can recommend a good loudspeaker in the $150-$1000 range?
Several people have asked me lately but I am always so rebuffed by
faddism and glitz in loudspeakers that I don`t bother to keep up
with the literature.  

Here are the constraints on advice:

1. No recommendations of Japanese products accepted.

2. No recommendations of Bose-type products 

3, No fads

4. Comments on electrostatics, particularly reliability characteristics
   and amplifier requirements of Quad speakers, welcomed.

5. Some people have recommended Mission Acoustics (?) British (?)
   How about them?

6. Advice should be geared toward the playing of classical music.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff
