In Reply to: Quads, Should I Bother? posted by Sibelius on July 17, 2024 at 10:07:52:
Disclaimer I am a dealer.A few more details about the overall room size would be helpful. But with the information you have given 3' from the back is more than adequate. With their radiation pattern side wall placement is not that critical. In most situations I recommend spreading them far apart, mine are about 9' apart on center, even if that places them close to the side walls.
In a near field setup, 6-7' back from the speakers, QUADs were designed with this kind of setup in mind, your room shouldn't present any major problems.
The ESL-57 is a very special speaker I will always own a pair and listen to them frequently. But my preference has always been for the 63 design. QUAD has continued to refine the 63 design and the current generation, 2812X/2912X, are by far the best QUAD ever produced both in terms of sonics, build quality and reliability. Unlike most products being built in China IAG/QUAD has their own plant they are not built by some 3rd party company that builds for anyone.
The price difference between finding and restoring an older pair versus buying new is getting close. Freight costs, parts cost, etc. are rising every day. If one already olds an older pair of QUADs restoration makes sense. But if one doesn't already have a pair buying new is an attractive option both financially and logistically.
