Guys we sell both the Quad S series and the Z series, we also sell Dali, Kef and many others.
We feel that the Quads both the S series and the Z series offer extraordinary sound quality for the money. The Quad designed ribbon tweeter is both smooth and yet has fantastic detail.
The Quads throw a huge sound stage and have suprisingly deep bass for the size of the cabinets.
The Z1 has an even larger sound stage and an even cleaner midrange
If Abrasia says the Quads aren't exciting, I think he means that they don't have that type of etteched in your face kind of detail that some people may find to be exciting, the top end of the Quad's strikes a perfect balance of detail with listenablity.
Personally he haven't found a competitive speaker in this price point which can rival them, we are awaiting the new Kef R 3 monitors which will make a fascinating comparison between these two loudspeakers.
For the record both the S series and the Z series are highly rated and have won loudspeaker of the year in the UK.
As per distribution Mofi distribution is slowly putting out more dealers as more people become aware how remarkably good the Quads are.
Most of today's value oriented loudspeakers B&W, KEF, Golden Ear, Dali, and many others starter models other than things like the B&W 800 or KEF Reference series are made in the companies own factories in China.
Quad is owned by IAG a very large Chinesse company who owns many audio brands, they are very vertically oriented and they make their own drivers, cabinets, crossovers, even the binding posts and mounting plates are made in house, the quality of the product is top notch.
