Classic Quad II of England Tube Valve Stereo System

Of all vintage valve amplifiers, the Quad II has to be the most famous and the most written about. It became so important to its maker that it actually changed the company's name! The Acoustical Manufacturing Company had been set up before World War 2 to build high-quality public address equipment. Post-war, this slowly turned to hi-fi, Acoustical launching their first domestic amplifier, the Quality Unit - Amplifier Domestic (or Quad for short) in 1948. Purchased from Soundex in 2006

These amps warm up the room in a musical and temperature way.

i own quad 303 and 33.

and i have used em with klipsch .

the sound is very neutral. through 303s

the background is jet black mute as u play music.

compared to other integrateds from marantz and jvc where the background isnt that neat and silent.

the pre amp amp combo has a very nice and solid tone to it.not like 100 watt claiming yet wimpy amps.

QUADs sound is pleasant and engaging .

i wonder how superior would the quad IIs be from the 303s .has anyone compared em neck to neck

The sound is very nice as any Quad II is able to deliver. By the way, It sounds as if the music was coming from just tweeters. Maybe is due to the camera mic. However, I could see that you're doing tests or repair.
