Quad ESL 57 - interest check

For Sale/Wanted
Forum rules
Note that Tir Na HiFi does not take any responsibility for transactions arranged or carried out here. It is up to the seller and buyer to check each other out! Please be sensible folks, and if there is something you think is wrong, let a mod know, OK?

To make it as clear as we can, here are some simple guidelines:

a) like any forum, the success of tirnahifi is entirely dependent on discussion. All members are encouraged to participate in discussion of music, hifi, etc.
b) tirnahifi is not designed to be, nor intended to be, a marketplace. Any member who uses the site merely for selling will be looked on suspiciously.
c) those members who choose to sell on the site should be aware that the mods do keep an eye on the stuff for sale, plus the demeanour of the seller. Sometimes we may lock/delete/ban a sales thread on this basis.
d) honesty is paramount in all selling transactions. Commercial sellers who label themselves as such are accepted at the discretion of the moderating team.
e) All ads have to include information about age, price, provenance, etc.
f) THE MODERATING TEAM RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REMOVE ANY ADS AT THEIR DISCRETION.
g) Commercial sellers should approach any of the moderation team in advance of posting. First time commercial posts without moderator contact will be removed.

God I'm tempted but I think I'll have to wait until my wife's renovations are paid for first :(

As a matter of interest just how wide are they?

LOL. They're an ultra-discreet 35" each, sure you'd barely even notice them..........

A casual enquiry like that is how many quaddies ended up with their gear!

Are you still interested in selling these as I may be interested in purchasing.

BabyofMacon, I'm back to dithering again, to be honest. In an unusual turn-up for the books, my wife told me last night that she thinks I *shouldn't* sell them, so that's thrown me a bit of a curve-ball. Also, when I started this thread I hadn't listened to them at home in months, but having actually used my ears rather than my head in recent days I might be reconsidering.

Let me think about it for a day or two more and I'll make a final decision. Sorry for the indecision!

Hehehe But I fully understand the predicament. Send them off to OTA and your kharmas will be consigned to history.
