Quad at Cloney Audio
One of the industry's most respected brand names, Quad have been around since before World War 2, with their legendary strapline: “the Closest Approach to the Original Sound”.
Founder Peter Walker’s genius is best reflected in the original Quad Electrostatic loudspeaker the Esl 57. Introduced (as the name suggests) in 1957 the electrostatic stunned music lovers who had never heard anything sound so realistic. In fact, the Esl 57 remained in production virtually unchanged for 28 years and was (and indeed still is) considered the reference speaker for many including radio & TV stations, professional musicians, rival speaker makers and critical listeners worldwide.
Quad also established itself as a well regarded manufacturer of amplifiers for domestic and studio purposes. In fact, its 405 power amp was pretty much ubiquitous in those environments throughout the 1970’s and ‘80s..
Today Quad has evolved into a modern manufacturer of amplifiers and speakers and CD players, with something to suit most listeners whatever their budget. The Vena (ins link) is a particularly outstanding affordable amplifier.

In a unique four-panel design but sharing the same treble and midrange panels as the flagship ESL 2912X, the more compact 2812X model delivers the signature QUAD sound—ultra‑transparent, highly detailed and effortlessly natural, with a midrange so lifelike that vocals and acoustic instruments appear in the room. Yet, all of this is provided in a smaller, lighter and less imposing format - at just 1070mm high.
A floor-standing speaker incorporating twin 6.5″ woofers and a 6″ midrange mounted on a rigid die-cast chassis; this combination delivers a rich, controlled bass output with superb dynamic performance.
The Revela 1 is a classic bookshelf/stand-mount monitor equipped with a 6.5″ woofer and offered with an optional custom-engineered stand of equally striking design. The stand is finished in the same high-gloss paint standards as the speaker and provides the perfect mounting option and display solution for the stand-mount offering in the series.
