Quad ESL-63 Vintage Electrostatic Loudspeakers

Description

Quad ESL-63 Electrostatic Speakers
This offering is for a pair of original
Quad ESL-63 Full-Range Electrostatic Speakers
. They are in near mint condition and been well cared for. I purchased these from the original owner just over 10 years ago. It’s time for us to downsize our living quarters, so unfortunately I have to part with much of my cherished hi-fi equipment. The reputation of the 63’s is well documented, so if you are not familiar with their specifications or incredible sound reproduction, there are many web resources to consult. IMHO, the 63’s are more “refined” in the mids/highs, with tighter/extended bass response than the previous model, which may explain why today’s production of Quad panels is nearly identical to the 63’s.
During my ownership, two bass panels were professionally replaced with factory replacements from QS&D. This pair is dead quiet- no crackles or pops! All electronics, including the input filter and protection circuits are original. The front-facing protective metal screens were professionally replaced with a more open mesh to improve transparency. If desired, the original front screens can be included in the sale. This pair is fitted with beautiful oiled walnut trim pieces and new black fabric covers- no scratches, snags or dents. Copies of Quad literature, including an original Owner’s Manual will be included.
The glue originally used in ESL-63 panel assembly is known to become brittle over time, making them much too risky to ship, so I’m listing them as pick-up only. If you decide to acquire them, I can also deliver the Quads to you, or meet you within the Seattle/Puget Sound region. Please carefully review the images and use eBay messaging to ask questions and/or arrange for pick-up or delivery. These are vintage used, working electronic components, offered as described and as-is. As such, no returns will be accepted. Thank you for looking!
