Introduction
Congratulations, you have invested in one of the world’s
premier loudspeaker systems!
The result of cumulative technology gleaned from eight
previous Research and Development projects, the Quest
represents the latest developments in Electrostatic and
Hybrid loudspeaker technology.
Combining our proprietary curvilinear electrostatic trans-
ducer with a compact, but powerful subwoofer, we have
designed a product, in one package, that reproduces music
with uncompromised electrostatic clarity and deep ex-
tended bass, yet takes up little more than one square foot of
floor space.
All materials in your new Quest speakers are of the highest
quality to provide years of enduring enjoyment and deepen-
ing respect. All trim pieces are constructed from selected
hardwoods. They are then grain and color matched and
finally hand finished. The cabinetry is constructed from a
special high-density hardwood powderboard for structural
integrity and is finished with a durable and attractive matte
surface finish.
Through rigorous testing, the curvilinear electrostatic panel
has proven itself to be one of the most durable and reliable
transducers available today. Fabricated from a specially
tooled, high-grade steel, the panel is then coated with a
special high dielectric compound that is applied via a
proprietary electrostatic deposition process. This panel
assembly houses a membrane 0.0005 of an inch thick!
Ruggedly constructed and insulated, as much as 200 watts
of continuous power has driven the Quest’s energized
diaphragm into massive excursions with no deleterious
effects.
We know you are anxious to listen to your new speakers.
