    Default FS: Pair of Quad ESL57 electrostatic loudspeakers in black finish.

    *** SOLD ***

    I’m selling my Quad ESL57 electrostatic loudspeakers in great condition and full working order.

    Cosmetically in very nice condition, apart a couple of dents and nicks, as you could expect from speakers of that age.

    The original Bulgin Mains socket of one speaker was bypassed and replaced with a standard IEC socket underneath (see last picture).

    Original Bulgin Mains cables and IEC are included.

    I’m looking for £400.

    Buyer collects from Ealing, West London.

    If you have any questions please ask.

    Many thanks.
    Mauro

    Great price for a pair from a proper enthusiast so you know they'll be working properly.

    Everyone should own a pair of ESLs at some point in their hifi journey.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    But the two for sale here would make a good start.

    Serious bargain here folks. Who's going to grab these superb speakers?
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I've always wanted to try a pair of these legends - but I just don't think my room would them justice. Plus they'd need shipping. Bloody bargain.

    You need a metre behind them (I used some sound absorbing panels) but a huge amount of width isn't necessary. Plus you can turn them sideways when not in use
