Biete Quad ESL 63.2 QA an.
Die von Quad Musik in der Eifel ursprünglich als Custom Made Product begann, hat, wie schon der ESL 63 QA den neu gestaltete Rahmen, der die elektrostatischen Wandler genau und stabil in der richtigen Position fixiert.
Die zum Verkauf angebotenen Quad ESL 63.2 QA sind in weiß seidenmatt lackiert mit silbernen Blenden zum Schutz der jeweils 6 ESL Wandlerelemente.
Die Quad ESL 63.2 QA sind in neuwertigem Zustand, da für einen zweiten Hörraum vorgesehen, der sich nicht materialisiert hat, und somit selten in Betrieb waren.

The Quad ESL-63 is a legendary electrostatic speaker revered for its airy, holographic midrange, but this €12,500 asking price is dramatically ambitious compared to the typical used market. Ground truth from five recent EUR listings shows a median of €1,221, with the 75th percentile at €3,047; this listing exceeds that top tier by more than fourfold. Even the highest external comps, like a professionally rebuilt mint pair at roughly €2,400 or a pair with stands at €3990, fall far short of €12,500. Unless this is a rare, museum-grade original-owner set with unprecedented accessories or restoration, the price is not fair and represents a severe overvaluation.
For a worthwhile buy, the ESL-63 delivers unmatched vocal clarity and transient speed that few dynamic speakers match, making it a timeless choice for critical listening. However, at this price point and with no mention of original amplifiers, stands, or restoration history, the upside is negligible. Common caveats like aging electret films or transformer issues become critical concerns when paying nearly €12,500. A clean listing of this revered model at a fair price around €1,200–€3,000 would be a genuine buying opportunity, but this listing is best treated as a caution rather than a deal.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Quad, the venerable British hi-fi brand, traces its origins to 1936 in London, when engineer Peter J. Walker founded S.P. Fidelity Sound Systems, soon renamed the Acoustical Manufacturing Company. Relocating to Huntingdon in 1941 after wartime bombing, the firm shifted from public address gear to domestic audio amid post-war demand for superior sound reproduction. Walker's pioneering ethos—prioritizing "the closest approach to the original sound"—defined Quad from its early QA12 amplifiers, adopted by the BBC, to the iconic Quad I of 1953.
The brand excels in amplifiers and electrostatic loudspeakers, revolutionizing both categories. The Quad II power amplifier of 1953 introduced cathode coupling for vanishingly low distortion, while the 1956 ESL 57 delivered the world's first full-range electrostatic speaker, employing a massless film diaphragm for unparalleled transparency and transient speed. Quad advanced into solid-state with the 1967 303 and transistor designs featuring innovative "Triples" output stages, later expanding to integrated amps like the 99 series, moving-coil speakers, and modern electrostatic models such as the ESL 988 and 989.
Today, under the International Audio Group since 1997, Quad holds a prestigious position in the high-end market, revered by audiophiles for its unyielding pursuit of accuracy over trends. Its heritage components command vintage collector status, yet contemporary offerings maintain a niche boutique appeal among discerning buyers seeking refined, distortion-free reproduction that honors Walker's legacy.
