About the Item
Iconic British-made electrostatic speakers known for their exceptional clarity and natural sound reproduction. Nicknamed "Walker's Wonder", the Quad ESL was a groundbreaking achievement by Peter J. Walker and remained in production for 25 years starting in 1957. Widely regarded as one of the most accurate and transparent transducers ever created, it marked a major leap forward in high-fidelity home listening. Comes with Quad 303 Amplifier, Quad 33 Preamp and Quad FM 3 Tuner. Tuner not producing sound through the whole unit, but everything powers on and speakers work well. Table not included.
