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.

Okay, apologies to those interested parties, but I've decided to hold onto the Quads for now. When your wife says you shouldn't sell what most people would struggle to get through the front door, you've got to listen!

Thanks for the PMs and expressions of interest, and I'm genuinely sorry if anyone feels messed about.

No, only used them with the Graafs so far. The AI is on the Sonus Fabers.

Not really, the Graafs have the reputation (in the Far East especially) of being a match made in heaven, and it was on ESL forums over there that I got most of the information about Graaf in the first place. I blame those Hong Kong guys for making me buy the ESLs when they came up.

I can't imagine their listening rooms are terribly comfy....

100% humidity, 30 odd degrees and two miniature blast furnaces....

Yep, I don't know how they do it. Even in a miserable Irish summer the heat is bordering on excessive.
