Arguably one of the most important products in the history of hi-fi was the Quad II power amplifier. Now, nearly fifty years after the original, we have launched the Quad II-forty valve amplification system and the Quad II classic power amplifier. For many audiophiles, the age of the transistor left a big hole in the emotion and pleasure provided by good valve amplification. The hi-fi world became orientated around numbers and statistics and choosing a new product was simply a question of numerical specifications.

Based on the styling of and reflecting Peter Walker’s circuit topology from the original, but brought up to date by the remarkable skills of our mechanical and electrical engineers, these new systems bring a richness and weight to any recording without the colouration many expect from such amplifiers. Not only are these some of the finest sounding valve pre/power combinations available today, but the genuine heritage and craftsmanship of the original has been preserved in the styling which can only be described as exquisite.
