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.



I've still got some old tapes like this. Warts and all recordings, but
they do sound absolutely lifelike

Over ESL63's of course)
