Default An interesting concept

I bought a pair of KEF kit 3s then too, later improving them with rebuilt

Sold them a couple of years on
at a small profit, after buying a second hand pair of ESL57s.

I kept them for nearly 30 years.


Still got the ESL57's?...

** No, thirty years expired in 2002.

Since then I entertained borrowed ESL63s driven by Quad 405s and 306s for a long while - verrrry nice.

Then I purchased a pair of used ESL63s from an authorised Quad dealer and unfortunately had to return them for a full refund. You do NOT wanna know the legal hassles that involved.

Now I content myself with a pair of 3-way speakers, employing all Vifa drivers in *heavily modified* cabinets that once housed AR2Axs.

I fancy they sound rather better than KEF Concertos but not quite as good as the phenomenal Yamaha NS1000s.
