New Quad ESL's

Post by tony »

Maybe this is common knowledge I wasnt aware but it seems there is a new model coming out shortly. Cloneys will be getting them.

I didn't know that. Interesting.

Noel told me that he would be trying to organise one of his Sunday sessions around them later in the year hopefully.

There is a review this month in one of the hifi mags I bought it but forget which one.The kinda good one with the yellow cover.
Seemed positive hope Cloneys put on a demo it would be nice to hear them. There could be a few secondhand esl's in Cloneys secondhand section early next year if they live up to the promise.They seem to be just a series of improvements in the quality of the components rather than a new design.

I think the price is similar to the current models. Around 10K for the 2912 model and 8k for the other one.
You'll need 2 power chords though so thats another 1-2k extra if done properly.

Dave, you can do better than that. For the Nordost Odin Supreme Reference Power Cord it would be €30,000 for a pair, assuming you thought you could get away with the 2.5m length!
