QUAD’s founder, Peter Walker, was a true visionary who revolutionised the world of hi-fi loudspeakers in the 1950s with the original Electrostatic Loudspeaker. Setting new standards in the quality of music reproduction in the home, the ground-breaking design featured full-range electrostatic loudspeaker technology and shattered preconceptions of what hi-fi speakers could sound like. QUAD has since continued to refine and improve upon Walker’s design, earning a reputation as one of the finest audio brands in the world, with one of the greatest hi-fi innovations of all time.

The latest version of highly acclaimed ESL series, the ESL-2812 and 2912 are a celebration of a classic. Using the signature mylar diaphragm, yet while re-evaluating all circuitry and components, the result is an authentic ESL experience – incredible full-range accuracy and startling realism.
