    Default ESL 57's out to play

    Bit of a laid back day for me today, so I pulled my 57's outta storage and fired them up, been playing them all day, very enjoyable...


    Thought I would share a few photo's;



    ESL 57 on a dedicated Rupert stand, lifts them 14 inches off the floor, improvement over basic feet;



    Rest of my system, Quad 11's - Classe Audio 30 pre - Musical Fidelity M1 dac;




    Happy man
