QUAD owner and hi-fi expert Ken Kessler wrote a piece for Britain's HIFI News magazine a few years ago asserting that the QUAD ESL-57’s were the greatest hi-fi component ever made. That caught people's attention and prices soared on online auction sites.
Thanks for the link Geof,
altough this guys clearly lacks knowledge and the article is less then stellar i have to agree on the old vs. new stuff. Just a correction for the above, Kenn Kessler has Apogee Scintillas in his primary listening room. A ribbon maker and friend from Australia has visited him twice in his music room. Supposely a very nice guy :-)
