Philosophy
Quad has, since the 1950s, led the 
field in loudspeaker development. The 
famous Quad electrostatics are now, 
quite rightly, regarded amongst the very 
finest loudspeakers money can buy.
With a fifty-strong R&D team, our 
research into acoustics and reproduction 
leads the field in development of 
quality hi-fi equipment. British design 
and engineering coupled with the 
industry’s most efficient manufacturing 
facility combine to create products 
unequalled in terms of value and 
performance.
Our philosophy is simple - that of 
producing ‘the closest approach to the 
original sound…’. 
Our philosophy is based upon a belief 
that hi-fi should add nothing nor remove 
anything from a recording – merely 
reproduce it. The resulting sound 
should be without artefacts, distortion, 
colouration and truly revealing of the 
recording process.
Buying a first Quad system is often 
a revelation to customers. Although 
neither artificially impressive nor 
imposing, it will produce a natural 
performance and an ease of listening 
that is captivating from the start. 
Quad products are sometimes seen as 
the kind of products bought at the end 
of a journey through hi-fi; we believe 
they mark the beginning.
