    Default Happy New Year from France

    Hello everybody,
    I am a fan of Quad electrostatic: I own a pair of ESL 2912 at the moment. Before, I used a stacked pair of ESL57. Drive them either with a pair of Mark Levinson ML2, or with a push pull of EL84.
    I listen to a large panel of music (Classical, Jazz, Rock, World).
    Very pleased to join you.
    François

    Bonjour Francois,

    Where in France are you?? There are several ESL fans around here, me south of Angouleme and Alan east of Poitier. We both run 57s.

    Welcome to AOS.

    Hello Francois. Welcome to AOS.

    Plenty of Quad interest on here, including electrostatic users, so you're in good company.

    We have a Gallery section for equipment and system photos if you'd like to add some. They are always welcome.

    I'm sure you'll find plenty to interest you here.


    Enjoy the forum,
    Geoff.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
