Has anyone had a go at re-doing the films on Quad 57's, the material is available quite cheaply from One Thing, getting them to do them at £100 a pop is a lot of wonger

The films now available are different to the original, so be sure to do both speakers at once.
The following comment is made tongue in cheek ('cos I loved 'em when they was new.......), but I suspect that as most 57's are clapped out by now, they're for masochists only

Cheeky sod, not until next year I'm not.
As for re-furbing the Quad's, I think £100 is very reasonable. It's not a job I would like to undertake.
