About the Item
Iconic British-made electrostatic speakers known for their exceptional clarity and natural sound reproduction. Nicknamed "Walker's Wonder", the Quad ESL was a groundbreaking achievement by Peter J. Walker and remained in production for 25 years starting in 1957.

Comes with Quad 303 Amplifier, Quad 33 Preamp and Quad FM 3 Tuner. Tuner not producing sound through the whole unit, but everything powers on and speakers work well. Table not included.
