When you consider what people are willing to pay for a new pair of LS3/5A (a fun but seriously flawed speaker) or 2-ways from Sonus Faber or Wilson I would think that a new pair of QUAD ESL reproductions would be an easy sell at $10,000.Those who have spent time inside vintage QUADs or who have built ESL panels from scratch can tell you that the staples and wood screws are not the worst of it. At times I am simply amazed that these speakers work at all--given the irregular engineering and shoddy worksmanship. That said, for me (and a not insignificant number of music fans) there (virtually) is no substitute. As the OP said they just sound right.
