The ESL-2805 is the smaller of the two models using six panels rather than the 8 of the larger model. The inner two panels of the ESL-2805s construction, again utilize the concentric anode rings for point source imaging, and the outer rings are again linear in their response. While the absolute bass extension and dynamic ability is less than it’s larger brother, the ESL-2805 otherwise offers the same performance. |

The clarity of mid-range and three dimension sound stage for which the Quads are most famed is fully in evidence, as is the sparkling detail and transparency that has long been the hallmark of this series. Their response characteristics are virtually identical and a weight of 68 lb together with the rigid bracing, ensures they are suitably deep in bass and dynamic enough to fill all but the largest of listening rooms. For the Quad aficionado without the need or desire for the additional bass extension of the larger model this, the smaller of the ESL speakers is still regarded as the pinnacle of electrostatic refinement. |

Quad's patented panel technology results in a combination of the speed and accuracy only possible from an electrostatic loudspeaker; together with the imaging and sound-staging only possible from a theoretically ideal point source; and the coherence and continuity of a single drive unit.
With the lowest distortion of any loudspeaker, the ESL can be enjoyed for hours on end without fatigue; never adding or subtracting from the original recording. Even at low volume levels, they retain the full detail and drama of the music. |

In short, the Quad ESL technology is unique in its clarity of sound, lack of distortion, lack of interference and continuity of response. The ESL-2805 and ESL-2905 speakers are the absolute pinnacle of that technology. Engineered without compromise, they are destined to become modern classics. |
