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.
