Stereopiile rave review of the Quad S2

We would say the biggest issue with the Quad speakers is that they are new to the US at this point.

The last distributor wasn’t very good, and other than the Electrostatic speakers which everyone knows about nobody even knew that Quad just came up with a fantastic line of dynamic loudspeakers.

Mofi distribution is now working with Quad to setup dealers and do shows to get this outstanding new line of speakers out there.

We have been working in high end audio for over 30 years, and I can count on one hand how many new and affordable loudspeakers really knocked our socks off, the Quads are really impressive and their clarity and soundstaging are just off the charts.

How would you describe the s series versus the z series?  I had the s series and agree, incredible speakers for the money.  I had them at the same time as a pair of P3esrs.  There was no comparison.  The s2 was a much more enjoyable speaker.

Malthuse, the Z series extends everything that is good about the S series. 

The sound is even more refined the soundstage is even bigger, greater clarity. 

Honestly the most impressive speakers for the money that we have ever heard.

We just demoed for a client the Naim Atom then the Uniti Nova with the Z2 and it sounded like a Radiho but without the hyper detailing presentation, very similar resolution and big open clean and fast reproduction,

The Quad ribbon tweeter is one of the finest high frequency drivers we have ever heard, the resolution is unbelievable but the speakers sound rich  
The Quad's damped ribbon is what makes the speakers so freaking good.

Please PM us if you have any further questions.

I have passive LS50 with a Vincent SP-331 (the lower end model around $1300), a Schiit Saga preamp, a Schiit Modi Multibit. The combo sounds very good but I don’t really want to spend thousands on better equipment to pair with the LS50. I was going to incorporate a 2x4 HD mini-DSP and sub but I wonder if I should just sell the passive LS50 and some of the gear and just buy the wireless LS50. Or is what I have equal to what I can get out of the wireless LS50? It’s for a small room 12 x 12.
