The Quad

L2-Series

L2 is our new entry point into loudspeakers, but these are by no means ‘budget’ loudspeakers. Using advanced composite driver materials, rare-earth magnets, advanced alloys, quality terminals and finished in a choice of high-gloss, piano-lacquered real veneers, they are fully representative of Quad’s commitment to quality and performance.

Voiced for a clean, natural mid-range performance with crisp, clean detail and a taut, punchy bass performance, L2 series loudspeakers excel with well- recorded, complex music scores. The layering of each instrument or vocal texture is clear and precise, allowing the listener to pick out nuances previously overlooked. Providing a ‘window’ on the recording, the natural tone of the recording is fully preserved to create a real insight into the original performance.

Our manufacturing facility is possibly the world’s most advanced in terms of loudspeaker production. From raw material to finished product, the entire process occurs under a single roof. Diaphragm production, voice- coil winding, magnet assembly, PCB printing, crossover manufacture, die-

casting of chassis, terminal plate, terminals, dispersion guide, even the spike assembly all take place in the same building.

Each cabinet is crafted from a eucalyptus based 25mm MDF, using computer controlled precision routers, before being assembled. Every cabinet is unique, finished with a real veneer

–not reconstituted wood pulp as other manufacturers use – with seven coats of piano lacquer – each applied by hand, then dried at ambient temperature for 24 hours, then finally hand cut and polished before the next coat is applied. These are fine furniture grade finishes using the same techniques as are used to produce the world’s finest pianos.

Whatever your musical tastes, or listening objectives, be they traditional 2-channel or AV, the L2-series loudspeakers will delight and deliver flawless performances, unequalled reliability and remain a stunning centrepiece of your audio system for many years to come. Backed with the support of our famous service department, as with all Quad products, the L2 series represent a very worthwhile investment.
