Default Quad ESL2805 [was: And so...]

Snip

I got a pair as soon as I had the money and a room big enough. Kept them
for 25 years. Only changed now because they clearly needed a refurb or
service and on balance I decided to try the 2805s instead. FWIW I did think
of the 2905s but decided the room was just too small for them.

To me the 2805s do have all the natural charm of the 63s. I'm not yet
certain if they sound any 'better' if I ignore why I decided to let go the
63s. Maybe all the extra mass an rigidity helps, maybe not. My jury is out
on that, and I can't do any quick AB comparisions. So I just enjoy the
results. :-)

Slainte,

Jim


Sums them up very well. They are sometimes too neutral, accurate and
flat for some. If you like a nice "tone" then you should be looking
elsewhere;!....
