Quattro quick thoughts after dicking around with the set for a few hours.
The good:
Both Monks and Dsnuts descriptions of the Quattro are both pretty accurate, more on that below.
The bad:
Your tips, cable and source are going to largely impact your potential results and enjoyment of this set.
The ugly:
I'm not even sure I can share with this forum my assessment of the stock configuration and the amount of disgust I had at first listen with this thing, licking the dirty piss soaked floors clean of a truck stop bathroom to white glove inspection standards would have been more appealing than spending the first moments with this set.
I'm still working through this set, have a LOT more gear to go through, so it will take a lot of time to sort this one out and settle on something. Am I enjoying the set right now, I'd say YES. Can I recommend this set to somebody? No, not at the moment, I wouldn't be comfortable doing so.
