A Brief History
These Quad ESL 57 loudspeakers belonged to the Late Prime Minister Sir Edward Heath ( 9/7/16 - 17/7/2005)
Originally housed at his home ’Arundells’ In Salisbury. www.arundells.org.
There are a few pictures on the web of them next to his Steinway Grand Piano.
Sir Edward Heath was an accomplished musician.
He played the piano, organ and then became an orchestral conductor working with the likes of Previn, Karajan, Solti, Abbado and Ormandy, so he had a keen ear for quality. Not surprising then that he chose the Quad ESL 57s for his music reproduction.
As you can see in the pictures on this page
These were custom enhanced to his own taste. Quite unique, we thought its best to keep them ‘as was’ and due to the condition, rebuild them, keeping the appearance the same as so to identify them as those that belonged to Sir Edward Heath.
