The first was Peter Walker demonstrating his (then) brand new ESL63's.
The source was an LP, the amp I know not but presumably either the
33/303 or a 405, and all in a very large room before a medium
audience. It was just so realistic!


I remember hearing the then new ESL63s with a recording of the
Winchester Cathedral choir in a music shop in Winchester. The
recording was made on a reel-to-reel tape deck (a Revox if I remember
correctly) at 15ips. For its day, it was amazing.
