I own several Quad IIs and a couple of Quad 405s and as long as I'm not over-driving the Quad IIs or kneeling, with my ear up against the speaker, listening for hum, they sound very similar to me. As they did, of course, to Peter Walker (who designed and built and sold tens of thousands of them). And all the people who sat the tests. I think they'd be as surprised as I would be to find that every one of us was/is 'completely deaf'. To tell us that we are is a ridiculous exaggeration, isn't it.
