ESL57s - loss of high frequency?
Hi,
I compared my 1974 pair of ESL57s against a pair of newish TDL speakers using a test CD with stepped tones and measured the output with a sound level meter. The high-frequency roll-off of the ESL57s was very noticable. The higher tones (10kHz up) were there but the volume dropped off rapidly. I was using a late (mid-eighties) Quad 34/303 combination for the test. What is the most likely cause of this? Is it most likely to be the treble panels or could there be a loss of voltage to the panels. I believe they were overhauled by Quad around 1995 but that was before I owned them so I don't know what was done. The panels certainly hold a charge well. I switch off the mains to them while I swapped connections about and when I reconnected them 20-30 minutes later they still worked for a short time even though I had forgotten to switch the mains back on. Regards, John. |
