    Default Quad ELS 57s

    I have for sale a rather nice pair of 57s.

    They have been in my Stewardship for about 5 years.

    They have patina consummate with there age but sound as good as 57s can.

    They have OTA(one thing audio) limiters fitted which stops them being over driven and I recently added widgets which help them present a more reasonable load to solid state amps.

    Colin Topps made the stands and side cheeks in American walnut that position them at the correct height and improve rigidity-minimising flex in the panels.

    They are on original bulgin plugs but a 5m shielded mains cable on one rung can be cut down into to lengths.

    I would prefer buyer collection and demonstration prior to purchase.

    Im asking £700

    I hope they find a good home-they have given me immeasurable pleasure....only surmounted by Mr Topps latest addition to my system.

    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!”
