Stacking ESL-57s
I'm starting out to build myself stacked ESL-57s. Various friends have expressed an interest so I'm planning to keep a blog of my progress in case it's of use to anyone else. I thought I'd post a link here in case anyone's interested: any suggestions are welcome! I'm hoping you'll prevent me making any silly errors, though it's hardly an electrically complicated job, more a matter of woodwork and managing the weight of the things.
For what it's worth, progress will be updated with lots of photographs here: Stewartaxton's Blog Cheers, 'Stewart' (ha ha) |

Did the 57-stack ca 25 years ago. To make them work at their best you should add a bandtweeter like Levinson did. I used the Deccahorns with the horns removed. The bare band-tweeter made a huge difference. Made the frames of beechwood and used modified MkIII“s for driving the speakers. If you have the speakers and the space, go ahead!
