As the Bowery King once said, "somebody... get this man... some subscribers!" So deserved with such excellent content.

[IntotheFurther.]

Once again you come through with thorough, high quality content. It’s a shame you don’t have more subscribers. This channel is a true gem. The effort you are putting in is not going unnoticed. Thanks for this comparison.

I forgot to tell you I was about to get the A9, but after seeing this video, I pulled the trigger on the Quad+SW5 and couldn't be happier!
Thanks for your amazing efforts.

"You are simply the best person on earth who reviews sound equipment, possibly in the best way." Just keep doing this great work. You're 10 times better and a genuine version of Caleb.

Great comparison review! Detailed, not too techy, and really humorous! I’ve never had “special recipe sassy pie” before, but I loved it! Haha. I think the Quad definitely fits the bill for many who want a visually minimalistic system with tremendous special sound, even if it is more expensive than most. Great job!

[YashSharma-pjqh]

The quality of writing and hard work shows in the video. Great stuff ..keep it up

5:23 "I sent my family on a weekend vacation, I drained the gas out of all the lawnmowers." hahahaha. That came out of left-field and was hilarious.

Been waiting for your review of this! Thanks!

[mircomeser]

please keep the thorough analysis, most channels are way to superficial and dont cover enough aspects. i hope your channel grows, it deserves it!

I am planning for a fall purchase. Been researching a lot, combined with lots of trips to different places to listen to the systems in person. After a lot of turmoil, I recently settled on the Sonos soundbar/300's system. This to the chagrin of multiple salesman who are convinced that I am ruining my life with that sort of theater system setup. But this changes everything as I am 100% locked into getting the A95L and I believe that the quads will intersect with the tv to provide an elevated experience after seeing your video. I appreciate your channel and how you mix the detailed information with an entertaining and edgy commentary.

[StoryboardMindset]

Your video's and delivery style are awesome. Big fan.

[nitmare]

I have the Q990D but I’m really close to buying the theater quad. Everyone loves them.

[DustyBottoms]

Great detailed video comparison. Thank you for investing the time into this! I have the arc ultra, two fives as rears and two sub gen 3’s. Would you rank the quad and sub above what I have?

[wulfrunian]

Glad I discovered this channel on my search for reviews of the Sony Quad. Great content and dryer jokes than a nun's you know what!

I have a question around the Quads that I hope can be answered on here. Can the system compensate effectively for a room setup where the TV and sofa are on the left of the room, where one speaker would be near the TV (probably just above it) and the other say 3 metres to the right same height? Or is it best to just have the two speakers situated near the TV?

[gb]

I wonder how easy it would be to cover the grey cloth with black speaker cloth - so that it still looked factory... I assume it would not affect the sound quality...

[mosesr]

Curious, a Traditional 7.2 with satellites vs Quad? Which one would you go with? I appreciate the Quad wont compare with bookshelves or towers but what about a simple config with satellites? Or are we seeing the end of that era? (pun unintended). I guess you could add ceiling firing speakers to make it more comparable, but keen to know your thoughts.

[FamilyAvila-ixpf]

Here to support and comment that I like your style dude lol. Will you be reviewing the bar 9?

[harethbanimustafa]

I love the tech details and reviews, but the effortless and unpretentious sense of humar takes it home :D ... and YES, subscribed!

[OptionTradingOnly]

Great work man! I wish you the best for your 40k subscribers milestone.

[Metroidam]

Commenting cuz I know it helps the algorithm and this channel needs more attention. Quality review as always.
