Classic Mid Century Modern Quad Esl 57 Speakers, Amazing Architectural Design
About the Item
The Quad Electrostatic Loudspeaker (ESL) is the world's first production full-range electrostatic loudspeaker, launched in 1957 by Quad Electroacoustics, then known as the Acoustical Manufacturing Co. Ltd.[1] The speaker is shaped somewhat like a home electric radiator curved slightly on the vertical axis. They are widely admired for their clarity and precision, but known to be difficult speakers to run and maintain.
The original ESL, in production between 1957 and 1985, has been hailed in Sound & Vision as one of the most important speakers of the 20th century.[1] It was succeeded in 1981 by the ESL-63, which remained in production until 1999. As of 2013, Quad maintains four electrostatic speakers in its range.

- Mid-Century Modern Wifi Speaker: Bose 901 ReduxBy boseLocated in Philadelphia, PAThis 901 redux began as a 1970 era Bose 901 carcass that was reconstructed into a high dispersion, two-way bass reflect wireless speaker. An onboard 50-watt amplifier provides power and a cannibalized Sonos control system manages equalization and streaming. The speaker enclosure is refinished in satin tung oil and fitted with acoustically transparent natural linen grill. The 901 redux delivers digital streaming convenience and a midcentury aesthetic. How does the 901 redux sound? Remarkably analog in warmth and clarity. This is due, in part, to the sonic characteristics of wood composite versus plastic --and the high quality of the Danish made Peerless drivers. Performance is enhanced by Sonos Trueplay that optimizes EQ for each unique acoustic space. If you do not agree simply return the speaker for a full refund.
