If I am not mistaken, the ESL 57 was still in production in the 80s, maybe 85.  Not 63, but ESL 57 是靜電喇叭始祖, arguably one of the best speaker in the world even now.  A good pair of ESL 57 worth a lot of money if original, mint.

不講低頻，ESL63的確係一對耐聴喇叭，佢既低音係快得黎乾淨，可惜量就相比沿用音箱既少

Quad 22 ,dual mono Quad II to drive the ESL.Only good for chamber music and small ensembles !
The HQD is the ultimate system !

Quad made great speakers, but not so good electronics.  Like Marantz 7c and Bedini 25/25 to drive the Quad much much better.  Hi end products are so over priced now a day, just ridiculous.

"丈部分" ? What is that?

Majority?  Even when Quad ESL were new, they were never expensive.  I forgot what the MSRP was, maybe $895 or 995 USD tops.  My system was a scale down HDQ..sorta copycat haha when the improvements were done, tri-amp with tweeters and sub.   I say nearly impossible to find original, mint condition 57 today.  Almost all available in the market today are reconditioned, but who did the work and how good?

Good old days where hi end was so affordable, lol...Typical LP 12 was under $1,000 USD..

好老實講，我總覺LP12跟technica聲效分差不是太遠，但我又不是親身玩不知問題出自那裏，亦或朋友未有玩盡LP 12

If I needed a turntable now, I would buy a used direct drive (quartz lock or not, not important), cheap and good.   Something like Technics SL110A or Kenwood KD 500 with the marble base, without arm, of course.  Those top line Technics and Denon on ebay is very expensive now...

ESL 63 & 57..different looks (not better, just different).  They both E.S.L. speakers, but they are fundamentally build differed.  ESL 57 features 3 panels (1 h/f, 2 mid/bass). The 63 however, unlike the 57...use the concept of Concentric  Rings (8).  Different results, but both good.  63 Cost much much higher, 3 times more than 57, easy.  Hard to pick if they cost the same. At different prices, choice is obvious.  I am cheap, I like cheaper stuff.

ESL 63 edge the 57 in almost all areas, except mid-range (but still very good sounding).  That made the ESL 57 a class by itself.  Sweeter mid-range, primary on vocal reproduction.  Very likely why Mark Levenson picked the 57 in his HQD system.  Would be nice if someone can start a thread on the legendary HQD, the ultimate stereo system.   I will tell all I know about it. Limited listening experience on that, but still a good 15, maybe 20 times.

Side story, the success of ESL shocked the hi fi world..for example BBC replaced all their moving voice coil speakers with ESL as their monitors.  Including the highly successful BBC Rogers Ls3/5a.
