Free UK Delivery
Discontinued
Here on offer are a pair of very well-looked-after Quad ESL-2805. In fantastic condition and from a smoke-free home. The speakers are in full working order and sound superb. We have them in the shop ready to demo, so please just let us know.
Speakers come with an original accessory box, with spikes, feet and power cables but not the external packaging so collection from our Hereford store is preferable but delivery could be arranged.
Serial Numbers 000711 & 000712
In short, the Quad ESL technology is unique in its clarity of sound, lack of distortion, lack of interference and continuity of response. The Quad ESL 2805 Electrostatic loudspeakers are the absolute pinnacle of that technology. Engineered without compromise, they are destined to become modern classics.
The Quad ESL-2805 is the smaller of the two models using six panels rather than the 8 of the larger model. The inner two panels of the Quad ESL-2805s construction again utilise the concentric anode rings for point source imaging, and the outer rings are again linear in their response. Whilst absolute bass extension and dynamic ability are less than its larger brother, the Quad ESL-2805 offers a sublime performance.
The clarity of mid-range for which the Quad are most famed is entirely in evidence, as is the sparkling detail and transparency that has long been the hallmark of this series. Their response characteristics are virtually identical and a base weight of 34.8kg together with the rigid bracing ensures they are suitably deep in bass and dynamic enough to fill all but the largest of listening rooms. For the Quad aficionado without the need or desire for the additional bass extension of the larger model, the smaller of the Quad ESLs is still regarded as the pinnacle of electrostatic refinement.
