The Quad 57 is an excellent loudspeaker, one of the all time greats!! However, they have now reached an age where they can become temperamental and misbehave (e.g. hiss,pop, spit and even glow in the dark!).
The Quad 57 repair kit has been designed to address the most common issues found with faulty ESL panels. Generally these issues are: low, or distorted output from one, or both, speakers and strange noises such as hissing, clicking, popping et cetera.
Our repair kit contains sufficient diaphragm material to re-diaphragm all panels in a pair of Quads and have plenty left over (i.e. 4 bass panels and 2 treble panels). ASK Rob
