Like mglik, I bought my first pair of the old Quads in the late 80s. Sold them when Quad announced they would no longer provide parts for the 57s. Bought my second pair in the early 2000s and kept them for about 8 years. Just bought my third pair and this set I will hold on to forever (I'm a slow learner). The Quad ESL is not perfect, but it's the closest thing to perfection that I have heard in my home.
