Very nice.
What amp do you have driving them, S?
A mate of mine has a pair, driven by some lovely Italian tube monoblocs (a mere 18w, I believe).
I understand they are a pretty wicked load - so very few ss amps can handle them?

Follow Ups:
A real good amp for the QUAD ESL ("57") is the Music Reference RM-10 (Mk.1 or 2). Roger Modjeski used the ESL as his load when developing the RM-10. Roger passed away a few years back, but his assistant (who still runs Roger's business) may have one left to sell, and they occasionally turn up for sale used.
I've had quite a few over the years but I'm down to a pair of Dynaco III's not stock per se, a Quad 405 that has a thorough updated rebuild, and my favorite a relatively unknown Kinergetics pure class A KBA75. I had a Levinson class A at one time but the 75 was just....better, what can I say, it has an effortless authority and clarity and I don't speak a lot of reviewer speak, I just listen.
Very nice! :-))
