I had a pair some years ago ,they have a mesmorizing transparency of sound with an unrivalled midrange ,they are not for bass freaks but with classical and jazz trio and the like they are fantastic, they are rated at 40 watt and can be over driven and can arc actually causing visible sparks .A Quad 405 has limiters in circuit in use with these but sensible use should cause no problem,s as with 63,s make sure they have had a recent service to avoid a large bill Quad have an excellent service department despite this being a 45 year old design they can be repaired. These are more transparent than the 63,s which I have ,however the 57,s are critical on listening position but when you sit dead centre the imagery is amazing, a beautiful musical speaker and a great investment when a good pair is located.Read full review

My goal was to source an undamaged (unarced), unopened (factory dustcover sealed), factory nylon coated center panel for my Quad ESL 57s. The mission was almost impossible as these are almost unable to find at online listings, these are mostly from speakers those are trashed or stopped working. The panel: However, it is very old, I belive the mylar used for the diaphragm doesn't sag and the quality of sound doesn't deteriorate as it's believed by many. Some rebuilding experts also say that the material Quad chose for coating the diaphragm is not only for making the manufacturing process simplier and cost-saving. It is rather for some beneficial qualities that the coating and the material have when used together for static charge holding in this process. Go for these if you are looking for an 'original' replace, test it, and if it sings; keep it! In case of malfunctioning, manfully send it out for a rebuild for a good specialist.Read full review
