Home theatre – QUAD ESL 2805 User Manual

Whilst for most ESL customers the 
important factor is performance with 
two-channel stereo sources, be those 
analogue or digital, for a growing 
number of customers 'home cinema' or 
even multi-channel music is now also 
becoming an important consideration.
To create a system which is able to 
excel at both is a difficult task. Typically 
the dispersion of traditional moving 
coil loudspeakers and also the use of 
three screen channel speakers; create 
various unwanted interference patterns, 
which effect quality of the sound and 
ultimately your enjoyment.
For home cinema use, the ESL is quite 
remarkable. Although there is no 
dedicated centre channel to match 
the new ESLs, most Home Cinema 
amplifiers feature a 'phantom' centre 
channel mode. 
Such is the ability of the ESLs to project 
a stable central image, the lack of a 
centre channel has been regarded by 
many as an advantage.
The unbroken frequency response and 
natural presentation of the vocal track 
is uncannily realistic - a hypnotically 
immersive experience.
