Forum rules
Note that Tir Na HiFi does not take any responsibility for transactions arranged or carried out here. It is up to the seller and buyer to check each other out! Please be sensible folks, and if there is something you think is wrong, let a mod know, OK?
To make it as clear as we can, here are some simple guidelines:
a) like any forum, the success of tirnahifi is entirely dependent on discussion. All members are encouraged to participate in discussion of music, hifi, etc.
b) tirnahifi is not designed to be, nor intended to be, a marketplace. Any member who uses the site merely for selling will be looked on suspiciously.
c) those members who choose to sell on the site should be aware that the mods do keep an eye on the stuff for sale, plus the demeanour of the seller. Sometimes we may lock/delete/ban a sales thread on this basis.
d) honesty is paramount in all selling transactions. Commercial sellers who label themselves as such are accepted at the discretion of the moderating team.
e) All ads have to include information about age, price, provenance, etc.
f) THE MODERATING TEAM RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REMOVE ANY ADS AT THEIR DISCRETION.
g) Commercial sellers should approach any of the moderation team in advance of posting. First time commercial posts without moderator contact will be removed.
Oh well, sanity prevails - one pair of my Quads needs to go...
A pair of black Quad ESL 57 speakers, 329xx serial numbers. EHT units rebuilt a couple of years ago, they sound great (but I cannot justify 57s and 63s). Come with power leads.
I'm moving country in a few weeks, quick sale needed - €500.
Also see my separate ad for some DIY stands to raise these up off the floor higher.
The reason I'm extra-tempted is that my amps are (apparently) lauded as being a perfect match for the ESL57s. In fact, when researching my amps the best source was a thread about ESLs on a Chinese website.
Dowser, I'll mull this over for an hour or two!

If I was standing on your shoulder you wouldn't be able to type! (for months).
I came home from the hifi show yesterday and fired up the oul' valves. Now I heard some great systems yesterday but when I dropped the needle on some vinyl at home I was 100% content with my lot. No Vitus envy, no coveting my neighbours DcS. Quads aren't for everyone but that balance of forensics and invisibility is hard not to love. I just think you'd love it too. There.
