The Quad II-forty retains the
elegance of the 1950s Quad II but with a level of sophistication, a
build quality and finish rarely seen on any product old or new. The
chassis has been substantially increased in size to accommodate the much
larger components, all of which are hard wired by hand following a
similar topology to the original. The modern listener demands a higher
output than the fifteen watts of the original Quad II. The new Quad
II-forty uses larger output valves, KT88s instead of KT66s, and a more
robust power supply utilising a 5U4G rectifier valve. The input valves
are now military specification 6SH7s instead of EF86s.
All Quad products are expected to last a lifetime – even longer. Many
Quad customers still derive immense pleasure listening to products built
over fifty years ago. These new amplifiers are no exception and with
periodic servicing and a caring hand you can expect the performance of
these amplifiers to continue for many decades to come.
