I’m a bit less inclined to draw a parallel than Paul when it comes to a modern Harbeth 30.1 and Quad 57 sound. They each have their strengths but the 57 had many more limitations. As an intimate and late night listening speaker, many of the Quads excelled.

Having said that, the 57 went on to: “The original ESL, in production between 1957 and 1985, sold 54,000 pairs during its life. Despite some major weaknesses, it is universally hailed as one of the most important speakers of the 20th century”
