At £575, this Quadral Rubin 2017 listing sits just above the 75th percentile (£571) of recent GBP comparables, making it an ambitious but not unreasonable price for excellent condition. While the median is £228 and bargains appear near £127, excellent examples of well-maintained German speakers often command higher values, so this isn’t a bargain but a fair premium for top-tier condition.
The Rubin 2017 is a respected mid-floorstander known for tight bass, clear midrange, and a balanced, non-fatiguing presentation that suits rock, jazz, and vocals equally well. Its solid cabinet build and original Quadral tuning make it a reliable upgrade from budget brands, and an original-owner listing in excellent condition with no noted wear or missing grilles adds meaningful upside. If accessories like original stands or cables are included, this becomes a strong buying opportunity for a sonically mature, low-maintenance speaker.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Quadral emerged from Hanover, Germany in 1972 as the consumer audio division of the All Group, initially operating under the name all-akustik before adopting the Quadral brand in the late 1970s. The company's international breakthrough came with the introduction of the TITAN loudspeaker in 1981, establishing Quadral as a serious contender in premium audio. Today, Quadral operates under the ownership of Loxone, acquired in 2020, which has positioned the brand at the intersection of high-fidelity audio and intelligent building automation.
Quadral has built its reputation primarily as a loudspeaker manufacturer, with particular acclaim for its ribbon tweeters and flagship Aurum series. The company's engineering approach emphasizes clarity, tonal balance, and sophisticated acoustic design—hallmarks that quickly elevated the brand to the upper echelon of the hi-fi world upon its launch. Production of key components, including the renowned Aurum ribbon tweeters, remains based in Hanover, underscoring the brand's commitment to German manufacturing standards.
Quadral occupies the high-end to upper-midrange segment of the consumer audio market, positioning itself alongside other respected German speaker specialists. The brand appeals to discerning listeners who prioritize acoustic performance and engineering heritage over mass-market accessibility. With over five decades of experience and a track record of consistent quality, Quadral maintains credibility among serious audiophiles and collectors, though it remains less widely recognized than some larger international competitors.
