Hi people. A friend was offering me a pair of Goodmans Minister speakers. I have since searched the Internet and have found little information about them. Does...
HI As I was looking in the photos section at Ashok's pictures ,I also had a look at the Gold LION KT66 tube which prompted me to ask this question. . I have a...
Hi, I've had them running and listening to them for a few days, although I've not done a direct A-B comparison between an orthodox transistor amp and a Quad...
Hello Wim, Take a look at www.quad-hifi.de click to "serien" and "professional" You'll see a full description including photo's and specifications. This German...
http://cgi.ebay.ch/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=21991&item=3832078550&rd=1&ssPageName=WD2V At that price, I think they're having us on (I HOPE they...
Tony, I think you'll find these are as "like new" as you can get. The German QUAD dealer has all the parts (including the ones QUAD doesn't - like wooden ...
You can buy completely refurbished ones from Classique Sounds here in the UK for about £1500, or buy some second hand pay One Thing £500 or so and wait a...
Thanks, David, but 'WAY too expensive for me, I'm afraid. I'm aware of the German Quad company's fine reputation, and I'm sure they're absolutely top-notch,...
Lee, I can't imagine that anyone can fully refurbish a pair of QUAD ESL57s for £500. Most 2nd hand ESLs need a good service (and clean) plus it is not ...
Hi Tony, For anyone considering 2nd hand QUAD ESLs these are very expensive. But for anyone looking for some new QUAD ESLs these are a good buy. I have a very...
There's supposedly a "mint" late production pair of 57s on sale at Audigon for $1200 US in the Los Angeles area where I live. As they have never been modified...
I noticed one unit is slightly lounder than the other unit. Time to change EHT? Had anyone replaced the passive components in the audio trans? Rgds, KY Lee ...
Stuart, You don't need to modify QUAD ESLs to run with powerful amplifiers. But if you don't you run the risk of arcing - which will damage the panels. Using...
It can either be the EHT supply - then all panels will be slightly quieter. Or it can be one (or more panels) leaking charge - this means replacing the faulty...
Thank for the info Dave. The model # is indeed in the 50,000 range, and were supposedly purchased new in the early 80s. My biggest concern is that there...
In recommendation of OneThing, I had their standard £150 troughline refurbishment and they did seem to do quite a lot of work for the money in that instance....
Stuart, QUAD told me that they built my ESL57s to 1983 specification - so that must be the highest modification state. If these ESL57s are in the #50k plus...
Hello all, I have also considered the replacement of my 57's with a new pair of the German 57's. Yes, the price is very high. But, small scale manufacturing...
HI. If you'd care to e-mail me some good pics of the tubes you have I should be able to tell youwhat they really are. I have spent many years working with the...
Dave, do I understand you correctly from this and other mails that only those who (a) possess deep pockets and/or a high threshold of economic pain, and/or...
I think it depends the environment the speakers are used in as well as the manner is which they are looked after. My father bought a pair in 1966. As I type...
Tony, The main difference between my QUAD ESL57s and either of my pairs of LS3/5as is that the LS3/5as won't fry my amplifier (and everything else connected to...
Lee, One Thing Audio offer a standard service/refurbishment for £395. Their total refurbishment package costs £1,000. From their description this sounds...
