Floor standing speakers Quad 23L Classic
A representative of the famous British brand differs by an original acoustic design. A passive ABR radiator with the diameter of 165 mm is installed in the lower part of the body in aid of five-inch Kevlar low-frequency speaker. Due to this it became able to get quite a deep bass in small volume (according...

CD-player Quad 67
Ask any BBC engineer to name his or her favourite brand of amplifier and the chances are that the answer will be Quad. Hypercritical musicians like the pianist Alfred Brendel use Quad ESL63 loudspeakers. Indeed, Quad's credentials are such that you half expect its equipment to carry a Royal seal of approval. For...

CD-player Quad 99 CDP-2
All components of the 99th series look very unusual. They are made in the midi form factor, they are distinguished by enhanced vibration protection (the upper casing is not made of a traditional thin sheet of steel, but is a very thick monolithic part), and have an attractively laconic front panel design....

DAC Quad Link D-1
The packaging, admittedly, looks quite impressive. But, as it turns out, the lion's share of the box is taken by the polyethylene foam tray, and the device itself is very tiny.
