Late Model Quad ESL restoration

Planar Speaker Asylum

Welcome! Need support, you got it. Or share your ideas and experiences.

Well earlier this year I sold both pairs of my ESLs to make room and I also took advantage of the opportunity to sell when I could.

I had a pair of cores that were purchased in pieces from someone that couldn't put things back together again. I had these cores for >10years.

I set out to re-build one last pair. Had the panesl rebuilt, re-worked audio transformers, refinish etc. Lots of work . I forgot how much was involved.

Up and breaking in now with the Bedini 25/25- which in its own right was real pain to get up and running after numerous biasing problems due mainly to the insane heat this thing produces. I usually run tubes but I wanted the classic early 80's set up with the Bedini.

This is the latest model pair that I have ever had. Looks like early 80s production with IEC socket . It has a CSA certification plate as well so definitely a North American/Canadian import.

Sounding good so far just like I remember them!
