I gave up on my Quad ESL 63s in the late 90's and don't miss them.
I'm definitely a dynamic speaker guy but I WOULD like to own a pair of ESL 57s as well. I like them better than the 63s (though, ultimately, not as much as some dynamic speakers).
I sure miss my Quad ‘57s!
I owned Quad ‘57s and joyfully listened to them for 10 years! Still questioning my decision to pass them on to another music lover. But I do sadly remember the multiple times I blew up amps because of them and the sickening feelings of the many times I arched them before I had them rebuilt.
I did eventually opt for more bass and treble but have missed their incredible mids now for decades.
Guess there are some new rebuilders who have been able to get more bass and treble? But I now have evolved the feeling that good enough is good enough. And man, were they good enough!
