Hi, adyc,

I'd just talked to Choice hifi today. They sold the ESL to me three months ago, but I am pretty sure they still have one pair of ESL57 in very decent condition avialable from one of their customer. Please call the nice girl, ah yee, for details. She is very honest and she should be able to contact the seller to enquire the offering.

Hi, dear all ESL users and lovers,

I guess the seller is asking over $10K but definitely under $20K. Choice Hifi will contact the seller and advise us the offering later. So brother (or sister) adyc, please be patient for a moment.

I think this pair is worth considering as I was told that this pair is in decent condition hence needing no refurblishing work. Of course, don't trust any saying until seeing and listening test.

I'd paid $10K for my pair after price negotiation few month ago. I'd already spent another HK$17000 to replace the weak EHT boards. I just bought a new pair of Nordost SPM cable under $20K to compliment the high ESL sonic quality. I am also considering to spend another few thousands on a proper Arcici stamd later. I would consider every of my investment is worthwhile because the ESL is one kind of the best on this planet. Personally, I haven't heard of any other speaker under $300K myself sounds better than the ESL yet. Don't forget, the ESL needs no expensive amp as entry. I am driving my ESL using Linn Lingo LP12 + QUAD II/22 or Mcontosh MR71 / cheap DVD + Cyrus 3i solid state amp, both can attain satisfying results. Don't make it wrong, the ESL speaker still demands for the highest quality front end and amplification if you want a true high-end system.

The positioning is difficult indeed. I am still struggling hard to com[promise for best stereo imaging and sound stage. May need your high-hand people hands to help in this aspect later.

Good day.

Dennis

It's really a tough war to me to get the ESL positioned properly addressed. Let me describe my problem case by case. When playing the Julsang on side 2 of the Cantate Domino LP (the white cover), I can hear the voice of soprano drifting to the right side from time to time. The focus of other vocal LP tends to stay slightly away from the centre line. I have swapped my speakers and even my amplification so I am pretty sure it's all about how sensitive the ESL are responding to my listening room's limitations.

Moving or toeing the ESL 1/2 cm will dramatcially change the stereo image of the sound stage. The adjustment of tilting angle is another headtache, one can completely change the sound stage by tilting forward or back by one cm. A very challenging pair of speakers!!!

You may question how I place my ESL. My ESL are sitting about 6 feet away from rear window with full length heavy curtain behind from wall to wall. The ESL are at least 7 feet apart, center to centre. Both apeakers have 4 to 6 inches room away from rear walls. Still experiencing the rear distance and toeing angle.

How's your ESL? Any challenge yet? Still struggling or settling down now with best imaging?

dkyyu,
Would like to come over to your place with my Graaf GM 20 (OTL 6C33 output stage) and find out how it sounds when hooked up to your pair of ESL57.

hello, Feikeung,

My please indeed. I'd tried the Graaf once with master Yu at Excel few months ago and it did not work too well with the small Maggie perhaps for some reason or impedence matching.

I shall send you my mobile to your e-mail.

Dear Feikeung,

My mobile is 9450 4803. On occasion, I need to attend night shift and I usually shut down my mobile due to company policy. Please wait for few hours to call me again if my mobile is off. Do call me to advise your availability.

I shall have my QUAD II/22 ready with VT75 to compare with the Graaf.

Any serious ESL user interested to join us?

Patrick, Feikeung, Ginger,
You all are of course welcomed indeed. Shall we fix it on coming Saturday afternoon, my place, as I'll be off duty that day?

I understand you have pretty heavy amp to bring along, so I'll be driving myself and can arange to pick you up anywhere in Kowloon side. I guess no problem picking up Ginger and Patrick. I shall send you my address in Hung Hom later tonight in case you wish to come on your own. Feikeung, don't hesitate to tell me if you want me to pick you up as well.

I propose to pcik you up say between 2:00 pm and 3 :00pm. So please confirm your availability or any other of your free available day.

One problem, I don't have a proper pre-amp for matching your gears after me selling out my Matisse Ref pre-amp a year ago. Any suggestion? othewise we will be using my cheap Cyrus 3 pre-amp out for the Leak and Graaf.

I am afraid I have no proper CD machine for the party as I am almost a die hard vinyl fan over 20 years. Vinylparadise's web master, HC Lee and a friend of mine, Edmond, will also join us.

Dennis......Thanks for your offer to pick us up. I can take the MTR to Kwon Tong station where you can pick me up after Ginger. I can bring along my old Proceed CD transport with a DA converter if you have a 110 volt step down transformer in your place. My cellular is 6400-9913. Please feel free to let me know if there is any other thing you want me to bring over.

I may be wrong on the pick up location. John... is your home near Kwon Tong MTR station or Hung Hom MTR station. What I want to do is to go the MTR station near your home. So that Dennis can pick us up on the way.

I live in Shatin and can come via KCR if the Graaf is the only item that I have to carry.
I have an Audio Research LS8 MK2 which I can bring over if need be.
