On one occasion I was away for a week and left the 63's unpowered. I cam
home and started listening to music. It was only after about ten minutes

that the sound was 'not quite right'. I hadn't turned on the energisation.

This shows that they do sometimes keep a surprisingly high charge for a
long time.

IIRC the 57's would not hold charge like this, though.


My experience is that they hold up for about ten minutes. (This is
based on the occasion when my better half unplugged one of them to do
some ironing. The reeducation programme appears to have been effective
and she has not repeated the offence. ;-)
