Description

Press Reviews
The Quad II Classic is a fine integrated amplifier that misses out on that fifth star by the narrowest of sonic margins and a hefty price tag. Its appearance apes the Quad products of the past, but, in sonic attitude, it sounds as modern as valve amplifiers get. There's plenty of drive and energy – both qualities similar designs fail to deliver. Few valve integrated amps have punch, but this one does. The Quad II has a built-in phono stage, which is something of a rarity at this price level. (What Hi-Fi Magazine)
