“New” electrostatic speakers 🤣😅🤣
I’m surprised that it’s only taken about 70 years to get ESL’s into cars!
I had a pair of Qual ESL57’s back in the 70’s, smashing speakers!.
Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!

I think they ESL’s go back more than 70yrs, with early versions going back to before WW1 and bet the 57’s are worth a fair bob today mate, if you still have them.
March 1, 2025 at 8:15 am #298619I had a pair of AR 18 speakers with a Nad 3020 amp and Nad 520 cd player for many many years until 4 years ago when I moved into a retirement bungalow which I love I now have a JBL Bluetooth speaker playing free spotify music through my phone sounds lovely . I still look at Nad on eBay and how the old stuff is fetching crazy prices now ! Kezo LG C4 Oled 48 inch now £700 at Costco will soon be here just got hospital appointment etc next week hope to have around my birthday 11th March richer sounds will price match the c4 is brighter than the B4 saw them both in curry’s and c4 has a lovely centre stand
March 1, 2025 at 9:49 am #298630I bought this
Last June £349 but also had Argos vouchers and Sainsbury reward points, I thought 55” was going to be big, not much difference to the old 40”..This might end up as a bedroom tv, tbh I think 65” oled will be minimum on my next..
However it’s a great upto date tv and runs all my devices and online stuff easy every time.. so much better than my 12 yr old one..

Never seen the the 48″ “C series” go that low and typically stay in the circa £900 range. Well spotted!
March 1, 2025 at 11:10 am #298636Unfortunately that was in the Seventies when I was working for a radio/tv firm and got a stupidly good deal on a Quad 33/404 and the speakers. Made the mistake of selling the system to a friend (who still has it) and bought a huge Rotel RA1412 amp and a pair of Kef 104Ab’s which I later changed to 105’s.
Still got the amp and speakers 40+ years later (and 2 pairs of 104Ab’s in the loft I picked up as “spares” just in case!).
There’s a couple of RA1412’s on eBay, each going for over £1200! that’s almost 4x what I paid for mine in 1979 🙂
