After listening to Kent's Electrostatic Solutions hot-rodded ESL 57s at previous Capital Audiofests in Robin's room, and again in this video, both the 57s and 63s make me realize how little we have advanced sound reproduction in the last 64 years. Yes, we can now play louder and go deeper with more impact, but these stats can make an artist appear right in the room.
To my ears the Quad ESL 57 is the best speaker for ESPANA. The clarity of her voice and musicality!!! Thanks Peter and Robin.
On my speakers the 57s sound way better.
The sound of the 57 is astonishing!
I had been looking forward to this one and it didn’t disappoint. Thanks to you both. As a 57 owner I’m undoubtedly biased, but I’ve also owned two pairs of 63’s down the years. Peter Walker’s first ESL was so right that nothing he could subsequently design even approached the perfection of the concept, and I think that’s actually reflected in this excellent comparison. Even though both pairs here are significantly hot rodded, I believe that the fundamental contrasts between the two designs are very intact in line with my own experiences. Fascinating.
Usually the 63s just don’t boogie. The 2805 and 2812s do. But your 63s in this video sound terrific.
One disadvantage of the 63 is the grill (and steel cage) which has been removed from the 57. Take the grills off the 63 and then run the test, I'll wager the 63 sounds more transparent. Another thing I noticed was the 57 was playing a bit louder during all the songs (the 57 is noticeably more efficient) which can weigh in it's favour in an A-B switchover. Just my two cents.
The first song we were actually in the hall hearing her sing on the 57's. Felt like i was just outside the venue door with the 63's. Listening on Mirage OM12's pulled into the room.
Cannot believe how good those 50 plus year old speakers sound.
With that huge and warm space to listen to music, the success is assured
Stacked pair of '57's set into rock stands with a pair of the large Rel's.. That's the dream maybe one day :-(
Heard the system. V G sound. It's big.
63's for me!? ...Fine sound, Robin.
The ESL 57 sounded alive through my Ls35a, the 63s sounded a little less so!
DNM is by far the best electronic I´ve ever heard, no matter solid state or tubes...Denis Morecroft develops his amps with the unmatched french Rehdéko full range spaeakers and the Quad`s. At home he hear with a pair of Rehdéko RK 145 - It is stunning, that you have older PA 2 mono amplifiers from Denis in your own specification. Wonderful, they sound amazing, I don`t miss the PA3S here.....
After hearing the Carmen piece I can't imagine why anyone would pay more for speakers than the hot rodded ESL-57s
nice......and happy to tell the width and length of this room ? niceeeeeee sounding
I also liked the ESL 63 more, it sounded more dynamic
Quite nice sound as a singer (a real one) words depict the message or accentuate the positive to some up in 1 word for each the 1st Quad I think I nailed it with "Pronounced" the 2nd came in as "Mystic" elegant flows with both. My 15" MartinAudio BlacklineX & Crown XLS 2502 amps running in mono reproduced nice. Hoping to get a Pioneer Mixer soon & a DAC, M4.
Fantastico and beatiful sound! I think the First solution Is plus medle and second Is plus Sorry my bad eng...in italiano suono più asciutto
I have to give it to the 57s. Not a fan of them on the floor though. I've heard Rob's show speakers on the floor and they always sound like they're on the floor.
Nice test but the 57s should have been moved from being directly behind the 63s to give them the space that they need
wow very impressive 😊
Should have also had the 2912 latest Quad in the mix.
True audio enthusiasts without “audiophile douchebagery” . Love this video, the gear, you’re two cool cats.
ESL 63 all the way...immerse yourself in the music and forget you exist.
Worst mistake I ever made and regret it constantly. I had stacked ESL 57s back in the late 70's and when the 63 was announced I sold my 57's and bought the 63 sight unseen. What a disappointment. The 63's are a great speaker but didnt have the 57 magic I loved.
Through my speakers the first set sound way better. Not so much highs as the second set and seems to have more resolving as well. Med/lows are exceptional on the first set nice and mellow compared to the second set. Sorry but I reckon the second set are more blurry and muddled than the first set. Where the first set seem to separate the instruments better and more detail.
Only for comparison purpose. My room and his. España, very adequate!😁
On good headphones the 57's sound better balanced and enable you just to enjoy the music and forget the system,the 63's sound brighter and more detailed and as consequence highlight the surface noise,but yes higher resolution.
Oh yeah
Coool
I take the 63's 👍
Both are great, the speakers in the foreground may have a slight advantage because they are more apart from walls
I liked Dead Can Dance on the ESL-57 better...from the YT compressed quality on my Sennheiser Headphones.
Peter you’ve lost so much weight, you no longer look like an audiophile
The 57 won on my phone... warmer and more musical.
The 63 was more cold and clean.
I wish I could have new Quads!😑
Got to be over $250 k plus of high end gear in that room.. where does it stop???
Never stops, once begun so be careful
It's worth the money
One of the advantages of the Quads though is by audiophile standards they are not expensive. The 2812s are around 15k which for the amount of sound quality you get is an incredible bu
?????30-40-50Hz???????
