I have a set of electrostatics (esl57s) that I have owned for about 15
years now. I am considering selling them but have no real idea what they
are worth. Watching Ebay they seem to go for wildy varying prices. Mine
are in excellent condition with close serial numbers and original owners
manuals. Anyone care to hazard a value? they are in regular use with a
33/303 combo( I also nave a set of 22/IIs in need of restoration due to
some 'expert' fiddling with them. They were in good working order till
said expert started to 'restore' them)


Given the loudspeakers' legendary status, why do you want to sell them?


They are superb, only after some rearrangement of the house we just don 't
have room for them anymore. In my heart I don't want to sell, in my head I
realise that I can't keep them as I have nowhere for them to live. I would
rather them go to someone who would appreciate them and look after them
than stick them in the garage until some mishap ruins them. They are in
superb condition and sound awesome. I consider myself lucky to have had 15
years worth of pleasure from them.
