Quad ESL 57 Question

I'm moving to a smaller home. I have had Quad ESL 57 forever. I have to make some changes to my system because of the samller living area. Getting rid of the Quads is not a consideration. My question is this: has anyone who owns these speakers ever used them successfully with a Fisher 800C receiver? Hope to hear.

I always admire someone who is committed to their speakers.

Good luck.

shouldn't be much different then using with the vintage quad electronics of that time.

I recently purchased 57's and also have a small room. I have driven them with a Marantz 8b (35 watts) with incredible results. I also own a Fisher 400 and 500c and while I have not tried that combo, I think that they would work well also. Enjoy the music!

Trebleclef,

I have owned 4 ESL57's for a long time. They are truely remarkable speakers if you look after them.

I dont know about the Fisher amp but I have powered them very sucessfully with a Pioneer SA508 solid-state amp rated at 25 watts per channel... It was one of the best soudning systems I had.
