Quad ESL 2905

£ 6000 5 * * * * *



One of hi-fi’s true classics redefined: this is the best Quad electrostatic design ever, and a truly world-class speaker

• ForPower, poise and surprising bass; open and airy sound
• AgainstNeed space in which to operate, and the best partnering equipment

There are speakers, there are electrostatic speakers, and then there are Quad electrostatic speakers. Few audio designs attract such fanatical loyalty from their owners or such fascination from those who covet them. Secondhand examples, be they the original 1957 ESLs or the later ESL63s, still command serious money.
It’s a brave company, therefore, that messes with the winning formula, but here we have an all-new design, retaining little beyond the basic electrostatic principle of highly charged ultra-thin panels moving in response to the music signal.

Now with added bass
The biggest revelation is that the new 2905s do bass. Speakers of this type usually rely on a conventional woofer or subwoofer to do the low stuff, but using six separate panels within the 1.4m-tall frame of the speakers, the 2905s are good down to a usable 28Hz – pretty impressive for any speaker.
They’re imposing – anything that tall and almost 70cm wide can’t help but be so – but they’re surprisingly easy to use. They need to be at least 1m from the rear wall of your room, and a minimum of 5cm from the sides, but that – and a bit of toe-in – is it.
Connections are conventional, plus there’s a mains supply for each speaker. The only adjustments are to tension the aerofoil-shaped rear brace, and a choice as to how brightly you want the Quad logo on each speaker lit, if at all.

Amazing imaging
It’s the sound that sets the 2905s apart: once you get used them, they’re capable of quite amazing stereo-imaging and power. Instruments and voices have a natural ease you just don’t hear from ‘box’ speakers. This fluid clarity extends to the handling of rhythms, and even the most intricate of detail.
The Quads can rock, too – these are far from being speakers only suited to classical and breathy jazz. Their power requirements are modest, 40-100w, and Quad says there’s nothing to be gained from using monster amps. We used Quad’s 99CDP2 CD player/preamp and 909 stereo power amp (£1000 and £900 respectively) to great effect, though we hear whispers there might be even better Quad electronics ‘coming soon’ to make a better match with the 2905s and their smaller bro’s, the 2805s.
The baby ESLs, still over a metre tall, run out of puff at 33Hz – still impressive for an electrostatic design – but do save you £1500. We’d stick with the big boys, however: they’re massive and magnificent, with a sound that attracted praise from everyone, especially our colleagues from Gramophone magazine.
One of them, the owner of a 40-year-old pair of Quad electrostatics, is now trying to work out how he’ll rearrange his house to accommodate the new models. If that isn’t temptation…

整体评价很高，5颗星星，而且明确说这是最优秀的静电喇叭之列。

不过注意下划线的句子，QUAD认为40-100瓦的放大器即可，而且怪兽级的高档功放并不能带来多大收益。

我觉得这对QUAD静电喇叭素质和潜力是很明显的，但搭配上还是要多试验，寻找最优方案。

今天听下来的效果，我直觉感觉KRELL前级和它并不搭调。

一直觉得静电屏风最好配LP。

低频usable 28hz，很牛逼了……

再那种活生感，hmmmm……想想都觉得爽！

这对2905静电确实低频很好，丝毫没有静电喇叭缺低频的感受，全频段是平衡的，哪段都不缺。

诶呀，说的我心痒痒，想找代理听了……

以前静电低频不好，驱动力要求高，还难保养。这哥们把这些全部扫干净啊？

我觉得付出的代价是搭配上要仔细找平衡点。这对静电我几年前在上海音展上听过，搭配的应是QUAD自家的东西，感觉不好。声音沉闷，不鲜活，至少那个现场就是这个不够理想的效果。当时我的心里想：这哪算静电啊？没有静电味儿！

白版觉得应该搭配何种功放呢？

是JEFF还是CELLO？

贵丰还是波大~？

不知道。希望硬总慢慢试，嘿嘿。

我觉得静电搭配胆前会比较好~~~~

例如AUDIO NOTE的M6MK3之类~~~~

声音应该会顺滑无比~~~~~

nadesicozhao

静电还得瞬态好点的功放吧
QUAD这款是不是偏阳刚的？
阴柔的功放里面瞬态好的可以试试ASR

同意，静电不应该往生猛的方向搞。
