Quad L-ite Speakers The L-ite satellite speaker is tiny in proportion to the sound it's capable of. Even without a subwoofer, in the system, bass response is remarkable. Using a smaller version of the same KEVLAR bass driver used in the award-winning 11L loudspeaker, the L-ite system has itself been picking up some rave reviews. 75 watt power handling. 70Hz-24kHz frequency response. Available in high gloss Cherry, Rosewood, or Piano Black. Price: $599.99/pr Quad 11L2 Bookshelf Speakers The 11L2 is a studio-quality bookshelf / stand-mount loudspeaker with a flat, monitor-like performance and remakable bandwidth. The design incorporates the latest technology including an aluminium voice coil and low-reflection bass driver chassis. With a superbly integrated mid-range, the 11L2 is both refined and exciting, with class-leading detail and imaging. 85 watt power handling. 45Hz-28KHz frequency response. Available in high gloss Cherry, Rosewood, or Piano Black. Price: $1049.99/pr Quad 12L2 Bookshelf Speakers The 12L2 is slightly larger than its stand-mount sibling and as such, offers a slightly wider dynamic range. It also uses a larger 6.5" version of the KEVLAR bass driver, with the low-reflection chassis seen throughout the series. Transient attack and detail are first-class, as is the wide dispersion (reaching across 90 degrees from axis). Bass extension is also impressive. Finished in piano laquered gloss, these are excellent all-rounders which will bring out the most in a music collection. 100 watt power handling. 40Hz-20KHz frequency response. Available in high gloss Cherry, Rosewood, or Piano Black. Price: $1599.99/pr Quad 21L2 Floorstanding Speakers The 21L2 uses the same drive unit components as its smaller 12L2 brother, with a crossover appropriately tuned.. As a floor-standing model, the 21L2 is capable of better bass extension than the stand-mount versions, going down to around 35Hz at the bottom end. Fast and agile, the 21L2 is one of the most musical loudspeakers in its class, capable of following fast moving bass-lines, whilst retaining full composure throughout the mid-range and upper registers. 125 watt power handling. 35Hz-28KHz frequency response. Available in high gloss Cherry, Rosewood, or Piano Black. Price: $1999.99/pr Quad 22L2 Floorstanding Speakers Leading the L2 series range is the 22L2. With a huge dynamic range and frequency bandwidth, it offers class-leading perfomrance throughout the frequency spectrum. Bass response bottoms out at an impressive 30Hz. When positioned exactly 350mm from a rear wall, the in-room response is flat to this level, with no compromise of the mid-range or high-frequencies. These loudspeakers produce exceptional results with the most challenging music genres, especially large scale orchestral and rock. 150 watt power handling. 30Hz-28KHz frequency response. Available in high gloss Cherry, Rosewood, or Piano Black. Price: $2499.99 Quad L2 Centre Channel Speaker Matching centre channel speaker for the L2 series. 150 watt power handling. 90Hz-28KHz frequency response. Available in high gloss Cherry, Rosewood, or Piano Black. Price: $799.99 Quad L2 Subwoofer Matching sub for the Quad L-ite or L2 series. 12" woofer and 300 watts of power make for a robust home theatre sound but this is also a sub that excels at music. 300 watt amplifier. 25Hz-95Hz frequency response. Available in high gloss Cherry, Rosewood, or Piano Black. Price: $2099.99 Quad ESL 988 Electrostatic Speakers The ESL 988 replaces the much-loved ESL 63 model. Although of similar size and proportions, the resemblance is only skin deep Ð for more than 90% of the internal components have been re-designed, upgraded, or modified. Twenty years of materials science have led to improvements in virtually every component and area of construction. The new model has better audio transformers, a new power supply, improved diaphragms, a strong heavyweight moulded base and new grille assemblies. Particular attention has been given to the structural integrity of the loudspeakers, which has been improved beyond all recognition. The result of these changes is an electrostatic loudspeaker that is as much a leader today as its predecessor was 20 years ago. Larger dynamics and a smoother response are two of the most noticeable improvements in sound quality. A slight backward tilt lifts the stereo image when these speakers are floor standing. 35Hz-25KHz frequency response. Available in Black or Classic Finish ($9499.99/pr). Price: $8599.99/pr Quad ESL 2805 Electrostatic Speakers The ESL-2805 is the smaller of the two models using six panels rather than the 8 of the larger model. The inner two panels of the ESL-2805s construction, again utilise the concentric anode rings for point source imaging, and the outer rings are again linear in their response. Whilst absolute bass extension and dynamic ability is less than its larger brother, the ESL-2805 offers a sublime performance. The clarity of mid-range for which the Quads are most famed is fully in evidence, as is the sparkling detail and transparency that has long been the hallmark of this series. Their response characteristics are virtually identical and a base weight of 34.8kg together with the rigid bracing, ensures they are suitably deep in bass and dynamic enough to fill all but the largest of listening rooms. For the Quad aficionado without the need or desire for the additional bass extension of the larger model this, the smaller of the ESLs is still regarded as the pinnacle of electrostatic refinement. 33Hz-23KHz frequency response. Available in Black or Classic Finish ($14999.99/pr). Price: $12499.99/pr Quad ESL 2905 Electrostatic Speakers The ESL-2905 is the largest of our full-range ESL models. It employs 8 electrostatic panels, the inner two utilising the concentric rings of anodes used to create the point source image. Whilst all electrodes receive the same music signal, each electrode area reacts slightly differently, such that treble frequencies appear to come from the centre of the speaker. This often leads to the belief that a crossover separates the signals, but this is not the case. The outer panels (three above and three below), are linear panels, the entire surface of each reacting in unison to the signal. The large overall surface area is necessary to provide deep bass extension and dynamic response. Construction is a combination of tensioned aluminium extrusions coupled to stainless steel support structures, with a piano gloss wooden trim. The substantial base construction is finished with piano gloss side cheeks and high-quality terminations. Internally, the highest quality components are used, including rare ccore transformers and high-grade audiophile capacitors. Three types of protection system are used to ensure the speakers are difficult to damage when over driven. A rigid three-dimensional structural support system, combined with an overall speaker mass of 41.6kg ensures the maximum transmission of sound energy. This results in the most dynamic and powerful Quad ESL ever produced. 28Hz-23KHz frequency response. Available in Black or Classic Finish ($19249.99.99/pr).
