Our Thoughts RADAR AI

Compared with a typical used alternative at this level, this looks like a strong buy: kr3,800 sits well below the kr4,821 25th percentile and also under the kr5,050 median for recent SEK comps. Against the usual market band, it is priced as a genuine bargain rather than just a decent deal.

That makes it an appealing entry point into a well-regarded power amp known for grip, control, and a very “proper hi-fi” presentation. If it is functioning cleanly and hasn’t been molested internally, the upside is solid: these are durable, enthusiast-approved amps with real staying power, and at this price the main job is just confirming basic health, service history, and that it powers up quietly.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Quad

Quad, the venerable British hi-fi brand, traces its origins to 1936 in London, when engineer Peter J. Walker founded S.P. Fidelity Sound Systems, soon renamed the Acoustical Manufacturing Company. Relocating to Huntingdon in 1941 after wartime bombing, the firm shifted from public address gear to domestic audio amid post-war demand for superior sound reproduction. Walker's pioneering ethos—prioritizing "the closest approach to the original sound"—defined Quad from its early QA12 amplifiers, adopted by the BBC, to the iconic Quad I of 1953.

The brand excels in amplifiers and electrostatic loudspeakers, revolutionizing both categories. The Quad II power amplifier of 1953 introduced cathode coupling for vanishingly low distortion, while the 1956 ESL 57 delivered the world's first full-range electrostatic speaker, employing a massless film diaphragm for unparalleled transparency and transient speed. Quad advanced into solid-state with the 1967 303 and transistor designs featuring innovative "Triples" output stages, later expanding to integrated amps like the 99 series, moving-coil speakers, and modern electrostatic models such as the ESL 988 and 989.

Today, under the International Audio Group since 1997, Quad holds a prestigious position in the high-end market, revered by audiophiles for its unyielding pursuit of accuracy over trends. Its heritage components command vintage collector status, yet contemporary offerings maintain a niche boutique appeal among discerning buyers seeking refined, distortion-free reproduction that honors Walker's legacy.
