NOTE: Freight is NOT included in any speaker sale unless noted.

We doubt you'll ever see prices like this again on QUAD ESL's. As QUAD's North American service center a lot of ESL's come our way. And not always because they need repairs. Many customers simply want to move up to a 2805... or even to his big brother the 2905. So they have to sell their ESL-63's, or even their ESL-988's or 989's.

And with the economy being the way it is, this creates a never-again opportunity for you to snag an ESL-63 or ESL-988 at an unheard of price. OK, these earlier siblings may not be "the best speaker on the planet", which the 2905's have been called (by the reknowned audio critic Ken Kessler)... but they still sound darn good. Better actually than just about anything else you can lay your hands on... at ANY price.

So if you're still holding onto your original ESL-57's, now might be a real good time to take the plunge and see just how far QUAD has come in the last 54 years.

We also have a few killer deals on some BRAND NEW QUAD ESL's. Check us out!

QUAD ESL-2905	New	Black	NOW ONLY $12,500

If you know QUAD at all, then you know why critics and owners rave about them. If you've never heard a pair of QUADs, you owe yourself a listen. Then you'll know why people say things like... "Incredibly warm, detailed, and fluid." "Musically perfect." "Simply superb." "Closest thing to being there." This is just some of the praise that has been heaped on these speakers.

And if you've had problems before with QUAD's not meeting your wife's decorating tastes, this latest incarnation looks a whole lot more elegant and contemporary than earlier ones. And these speakers are the virtually perfect solution for just about any kind of music, except hard rock/heavy metal played at moon rocket levels. To be honest they really don't hold up well to that kind of punishment.

But if you're a fan of classical music, opera, folk, jazz, big band, instrumentals, vocals, love lush strings, or know what acoustical instruments really sound like in a live concert... then this is the speaker for you.

So grab a BRAND NEW pair today, save yourself a bundle, and get a front row seat for life! LIMITED QUANTITY!!! Only a few pair at this price.

QUAD ESL-2805

New

Black

NOW ONLY $9,500

The 2805 will sound every bit as good as it's bigger brother, the 2905, in all but the largest rooms. It has the same point source imaging and incredibly pure and uncolored sound. Vocals are simply uncannily real, and the soundstage it creates for a full orchestra is about as close to actually being there as you can get.

If you have an older 63 or even a 988, you'll be amazed at the structural differences this latest model offers. The internal electronics have been beefed up considerably as well... all with an eye towards turning an already incredible speaker (the 63) into a jaw-dropping experience.

Add a whopping savings to the mix, and you'll have a delight both to your ears and your wallet.

QUAD ESL-989

Refurb

Vintage

NOW ONLY $4,499

What can we say... an immaculate pair of QUAD ESL-989's in the limited Vintage edition! We've put this speaker through a QSandD refurb, and can honestly say... this is factory original sound.

With 50% more of a radiating area than its little brother, the 988, these speakers can pack more of a wallop in their extended bottom end, giving them a greater sense of weight and authority, especially in a larger room.

They look gorgeous to boot.

And the price... you can buy your wife a car with what you'll save!

QUAD ESL-63 PRO

Refurbed/Demo

Black

ONLY $2,799

The QUAD ESL-63 was the first full-range electrostatic speaker to use an intricate series of delay lines to give its stereo soundstage true point-source imaging. The more robust and deeper sounding 63's replaced the aging 57's, and became a legend in their own right.

The highly-prized PRO version, known as the US monitor, sports sturdy vinyl handles for carrying to location or to pinpoint positioning.

This pair was used for demos (it has only a minor scuff or two), and has been through a QSandD refurb. They sound and look fantastic.

QUAD ESL-63

Repaneled

Black

ONLY $3,199

This is almost like getting a "new" pair of QUAD 63's for the price of a used set. We've replaced all eight panels (4 per speaker) and dust covers.

We've gone through these speakers with a fine tooth comb and all the associated electronics check out A-OK, so the sound is as close to factory original as possible.

If you've ever wanted to own a set of ESL-63's but couldn't afford them, this is your chance to get a pair at a real bargain price.

QUAD ESL-63

Used/Inspected

Black

ONLY $2,999

These speakers have been custom-fitted with Crosby's unique honey-comb grill, and the standard banana connector inputs have been replaced with extra-heavy-duty copper binding posts to accommodate the thickest of speaker wires. Top wood panel is brown. The grill cloth and the rest of the speaker is black.

Everything is in superb condition. This is a great chance to get hold of a pair of Crosby modified 63's at a really great price.

QUAD ESL-63

Used/Inspected

Brown

ONLY $2,899

QUAD ESL 63 electrostatic speaker for sale

This is a very special pair of 63's in excellent cosmetic and sonic condition. Top and bottom wood panels are brown, as is the grill cloth. They have been custom-fitted with super-rigid US monitor grills instead of the standard 63 grill, but everything else is factory original.

We've checked all the panels and electronics. Everything looks and sounds as good as it gets. These speakers also come with a 90 day QSandD used speaker warranty. Better snap these up fast, before someone beats you to it!

WHARFEDALE SPEAKERS
Britain's Most Famous Loudspeakers

Wharfedale has been a legendary innovator among speaker manufacturers since they started in 1932, and QSandD is proud to announce that we are now an authorized dealer for their quality line of book-shelf and floor-standing speakers. Currently they have a manufacturing base of over 1.2 million square feet, encompassing everything from capacitor manufacture to full production of over 600 different drive units.

Their new Diamond Series features Kevlar drive units, furniture grade vinyl, and strikingly curved walls that are not just a design feature. This sleek unboxy look also adds structural rigidity and integrity to the enclosure, dampens resonance, and reduces the effects of standing waves. The Diamond speaker cabinet also sports twin rear-firing reflex ports for lower distortion and earth-shaking bass. The series is available in black, cherry and rosewood finishes.

All in all Wharfedale speakers represent a very elegant and affordable hi-fi solution for any size budget. We will soon be offering the entire line of fine Wharfedale products. But for starters, see what we have below. Call us for available finishes, and also for other Wharfedale products not listed.
