QUAD ESL 2805 - Manual (Page 13)

Ask many of the most respected music
industry professionals in the world what
their speaker of choice is - the answer
is surprisingly common. The Quad ESL
opens a window on a recording unlike
any other speaker.
More hi-fi critics regard the Quad ESL as
an absolute reference for their listening
than any other loudspeaker. They are
regularly praised by leading magazines,
winning Golden Ears from The Absolute
Sound (USA); and not just ‘Product
of the Year’, but also ‘Component of
the Year’ from Stereophile (USA); a
Diapason D’Or award (France); and a
‘System of the Year’ award from Hi-Fi
News magazine - all of these within the
last three years alone.
For those involved in the recording
industry, their reputation is unsurpassed.
The transparency of their reproduction
has won them many fans. For
professional musicians and studios, this
is an invaluable asset. It allows them to
hear exactly what has been recorded in
perfect balance.
Because of their speed and neutrality,
they are unaffected by the overhang
and self-imposed character of moving-
coil alternatives.
The Quad ESL has been used by Tony
Faulkner (shown left recording at Henry
Wood Hall in London) for many years.
He started using the ESL-63, the ESL-63
Pro, and now uses a pair of ESL-989s
for his critical monitoring.
Tony has produced over a thousand
classical music recordings using the
Quad ESL because he knows he can
trust what he hears - that the very
essence of the performance is being
transferred.
Using the Quad ESLs for listening
at home, you can be sure that your
experience will mirror that of the
concert hall. You will hear detail and
depth never before noticed and each
listening session will draw you into the
music - transforming your appreciation
of every great performance and every
great recording.
