Quad ESL 63 Floorstanding Speakers – Teak

SPARES/REPAIRS. Play with popping/rustling
Multiple deep scratches on top and around top edge
Few holes in both grilles/fabric

***********************************************************

Here we have a pair of one of the most iconic loudspeakers in the world – Quad’s ESL63 Electrostatic Floorstanding Speakers. There are quite a few blemishes but that is to be expected considering their age but unfortunately that isn’t the end of the problems. They are working but not correctly, and probably require someone with more experience and more time to get them back to their best. They are therefore being sold as seen – so no returns please – for spares or repair only.

Shipping is UK only and on a pallet. Collection very welcome.

Quad Said….
The Quad ESL-63 sets new standards in three important areas of loudspeaker technology, low distortion, low colouration and controlled directivity, resulting in a level of performance limited solely by the quality of programme source.
For a quarter of a century the Quad electrostatic loudspeaker has remained as a standard of reference for engineers working in recording. broadcasting and loudspeaker design and a source of pleasure to those fortunate enough to own a pair.
The introduction of its successor, the Quad ESL-63 is an event of considerable significance to both listener and engineer, destined to have an important influence upon the quality of reproduction which we can expect in the future.
