Quad ESL-2805 Loudspeaker

 

Have you ever had a reference component in your system for years and sold it because you felt that something else just had to be better? Perhaps my biggest audio regret is selling my Crosby-modified Quad ESL-63s with their matching stands. The major...

Quad ESL 2805 review

 

Fifty years after its electrostatic speakers first wowed the hi-fi world, Quad breaks new ground

Astonishing cohesion ; midrange naturalness ; detail resolution

Fussy about positioning ; lack the dynamic punch of some rivals ; slightly lumpy bass

In many ways these Quads are exceptional, but they’re not all-round talents

Quad ESL 2805 review

 

50 years later and Quad still knows how to deliver the goods

Magnificent midband with great coherence ; Fine neutrality ; Exceptional low-level detailing ; Delivers pin-point stereo imaging

Limited bass weight and loudness capability is less well suited to rock ; Can be system fussy ; Needs to be well clear of rearward wall

Not a great rocker, but this genuine high-end reproducer sets the standard for natural realism of voices and acoustic instruments

Quad ESL 2805

 

This is the fiftieth anniversary of a hi-fi legend. It was 1957 when Quad stunned the hi-fi world by introducing the first full-range speaker based an electrostatic (as distinct from the usual electro-dynamic) principle of operation

Magnificent midband with great coherence, Fine neutrality, Exceptional low-level detailing, Delivers pin-point stereo imaging

Limited bass weight and loudness capability is less well suited to rock, Can be system fussy, Needs to be well clear of rearward wall

Not a great rocker, but this genuine high-end reproducer sets the standard for natural realism of voices and acoustic instruments
