All I'd say is choose carefully. Used ones often come with issues. Not my cuppa in any shape or form but well worth hearing a pair in case they are yours

Naim were developing an electrostatic for a while. I just can't imagine that being a fruitful pairing. I've only heard Quads and Logan's, but neither seemed like a smart match with Naim. Maybe that's why they didn't complete the project.

Some swear the original Nait was a great match for the 57.

Bollocks, it is a complete mismatch. Who the hell says that.

If you find a pair for the right price in the right condition, then by all means give them a go. For some they are a final destination speaker. I've liked all the Quad ESL's I've heard including the 63's. I really like the electrostatic midrange.

The 57 was the development speaker used in designing the NVA circuit.
