I bought one ESL63 Bass Panel only. The Panel was in good condition and extremely well packed, it arrived quickly. Be aware that in your speakers there might be a different panel Version than the one offered. I got a Panel with White plastic Frame, my original Panel was with black Frame. I was not aware of the existence of those differences, but in the auction pictures it was clearly visible what type was offered. the Installation of the White Panel caused no issues; the mechanical Interface is the same, only the Connection wires Need to be a Little bit longer, since the attachment Points result to not be in a straight line.
As the subject suggests, this is something you will need as the older protection circuits are less secure and suffer larger risk of failure due to the fact that it has to take care of all of the power from the amp instead of getting relief from the needed diode bridge. A good buy!

Having various problems with my beloved Quad ESL 63, I am lucky to have found this lovely pair of base units. After spending a few days to put them on, now the speakers are singing again.

I have been after a pair for years to replace my 57s , they are superb in clarity & sound staging. Very good value for money & although an older pair in superb condition. Highly recommend any non headbangers to try a pair , you won't go back to boxes...

QUAD 63's are a stable electronics design capable of restoration to 'as new' quality. Newer equivalent quality units are 3 times the price with less maintainable components. No great improvements to the electrostatic design have been made in the last 50 years.

These are superb speakers, especially when driven by recent quad valve amplifiers ,I use a Quad606mk11 which,is made for them although being a transistor design does a pretty good job. Drum and Bass fans are not advised to buy these ,The bass is fine for general material but an audition is reccommended.A warning to buyers ,make sure repair/service reciepts are available as unlike conventional speakers they require periodic new panels Quad are great to deal with but mine had all new panels at a cost of £1200 with an initial purchase price of £700 and faulty when I bought them Quad advise all panel repacement ,I liken it to buying a car and asking when the cam belt was changed last .To me they are worth the expense considering the latest version costs £5500 it is useful to have cartons if avalable as these cost me £70 from Quad to get them returned .These were discontinued in 1999 so 13 years of age is the newest you can buy. My only slight concern is the lack of real deep bass ,I recently bought a powered sub (REL) this has completely solved the problem as bass is none directional it fool you into believing it comes from the electrostatics.Read full review
These are certainly lthe best speakers ever made in the world.You have a coaxial sound system with time delay .This speaker sound awsome without the coloration of the cabinet .The only problem is the bass,the low frequency is not goo for it, you must use a good subwoofer and a cross over to cut off the bass in the esl at 120 or 170hz to get the maximum for pressure and coherence. Mines are working with 2xtad 15 inc with a time delay,to get the maximum coherence . The medium is awsome, and mid bass is very very real,the treble is sometimes a litle teeny .These speakers like current ,you must have an excellent amplifier .Valve amplifier are the best , meanwhile you can drive them with excellent transistorised amplifiers like the Es sony line (since the 55es to the 90es TAN),the big ADcom GFA 555 mk2,or the wuad 520f or 707 themeselves.Do not take the 405 or the 306 they will not have the pulse to move the ESL...Read full review
Lifting the quads off the floor allows the speakers image to deepen the soundstage, i recommend it. The stands are well made. If you added a b&w pv1 with an active crossover and a pair of Townshend's super tweeters the quad 63s can totally nail hard and fast music, try Leftfield or Audio bully's for a mind blowing experience and these can ace it. none better
