Quad ESL 57 Musikwiedergabe
I see a pair of these wonderful speakers for sale in The Netherlands at the reasonable price of €2465.
They were, according to the seller, restomodded in 2017 by Musikwiedergabe in Germany who bought the original jigs for this model from the factory and have improved its construction considerably.
If only I had the space….:p

My current speakers are the more modern and I think rather better Quad 2805s, but I still have a pair of esl 57s that I bought in 1977. They are still in good original condition, and were used again two years ago when the 2805s needed repairs. Even though I prefer the modern ones, the sound quality of the originals was still remarkable and something I could happily live with. Space is a problem for me too, so I should sell them when I have time. The same applies to the fm3/Q33/303 electronics that I have lying around.

Damn, the black piano 948s are selling for $3k a pair in ebay. That's insane, that's like 50% off. I bought my walnut 948s when they had their last sale in 2020 for $3500.

I think you lost yourself.;) You are on the Europe Master Deals. A real deal for 948s is like 1500-1600€/pair here.

We should make this topic strictly for tips and the other topic for discussions

Oh I know, but in the US we get the Arias on sale around the same time. The 948s are MSRP $6400 USD, so for $3000, it's a steal for us. Btw, since I have your attention, which dac would you pair with the 948s? I was thinking the new Akm dacs but I fear the sound maybe too warm.

Decent dacs are not audible, they are not warm or bright or anything. Pick a good one and be happy

Fine, you share it on the other Master deal thread, then:

@Narek Here is absolutely not the place to discuss this. There is no such thing as AKM being too warm, anyway.;)
Are you sure?
Yes we are. But you can read about it in many, many other related threads. Welcome to ASR. ;)
