Sadly for me, these need more room than I could ever provide, my lust for them all but pre-ordained as I had fired up my ESL-63s in anticipation. Quad’s ESL 2912X does everything which made the original ESL-57 a hi-fi classic, although be warned if you’ve been nursing ’57s since Harold Macmillan was in Downing Street, as it’s less forgiving at the frequency extremes thanks to greater extension.

This loudspeaker unconditionally deserves recognition for its performance at any price, a mandatory consideration for panel speakers above £10,000. It does everything you could possibly want from a Quad electrostatic with no debilitating flaws nor compromises of any real import. It sounds as heavenly as its great-great-great-grandfather, and it looks sensational, too.

But the deal maker? Like every product made during the Peter Walker era, Quad’s ESL 2912X is a bargain so honest that it’s an indictment of its rivals.
