ESL-2912
The ESL-2912 by Quad is their top-end electrostatic loudspeaker.
The original ESL is a most iconic loudspeaker: The world’s first full-range, ultra-low distortion electrostatic loudspeaker, which set standards for accuracy and fidelity in loudspeakers that remain unsurpassed to this day.
A labour of love for founder Peter Walker, the ESL-57, as it came later to be known, is still revered by audiophiles all over the world.
ESL is the complete embodiment of the Quad company ethos – "The Closest Approach To The Original Sound" – reproducing a sound which is indistinguishable from having the performers right there in front of you. The latest models (ESL-2912 and ESL-2812) have built on the original concept with improved efficiency.
