I owned the 63s and quite liked them. But a few friends had the 57s and I actually liked the tone of the 57s more - a bit more present and warm sounding to my ear, and a bit more solid sounding. I’ve wanted to own the 57s for a long time, if only as a pair of "use them sometimes" speakers. But their form factor simply doesn’t work anywhere in my house. I was actually offered a beautiful pair for FREE and couldn't take them!
ESL57 vs ESL63
The 57’s are going for twice the price of 63’s.
i like the managable size of this speaker, this is really a part of my soon to be retirement built two channel system.
besides the price, how do these two fair amongst each other. Realistically how much power do the require, tubes ? Solidstate ?
my hope would be to also get into lower powered triode type amps with this projects.....
