385.0. "Old QUAD ESLs to get subwoofers!" by UFHIS::JMASLEN (The wheels fallen off your day yet?!) Thu Nov 26 1992 17:23

    OK you old QUAD ESL owners!
    
    Gradient(the companythat bought you subwooofers for theESL63) are
    releasing the same for the old ESLs next month!
    
    Looks pretty spiffy too. No idea on price but expect it to be 2/3 of
    the present model.
    
    I was visiting the company earlier this year and I raved to the inventor
    that his should be his next step to get through the recession because
    his present ones would only be bought for so long.............now he
    has done it............we reckoned there were 54,000 ESLs out here just
    waiting to 'come into' the nineties!!          
    
    Buy up an old 303 boys and put that ZZ Top cd on!!!!!!!

    I always thought the way to get bass out for the old ESL's was to stack
    them. I knew someone in Ireland who had a stack 3 high, then there's
    always the SME listening room.

    I saw the Gradient subs at the Penta show but unfortunatley could'nt
    stay to listen to them . They looked nice but if I recall the cost was
    high (#1000 ?). Better to move house to somewhere with a 30'x20' living
    room :-).
    
    I think that lifting the QUADS also lets the bass out, opn some form of
    stands. Arcici (sp ?) advertise some special stands just for the ESL.
