Review
“the Ideon components provide the kind of musical thrills one might hear through the original Quad electrostatic speakers: a crystal-clear, essentially neutral, hyperdetailed window onto the music that captures every nuance without sacrificing music’s weight and body… It can play every kind of music with all of its strengths intact. I simply found listening to certain genres on it to be a revelation. If I were a listener of primarily classical and acoustic music, I would travel far to hear one.”
