Frequently Asked Questions

Are Quad speakers a good choice?
Quad is a British loudspeaker brand with more than 80 years of history, guided by its famous goal of "the closest approach to the original sound." That philosophy shows in a natural, accurate, and refined presentation that many audiophiles return to. At Vinyl Sound USA in Buffalo, New York the current Quad lineup runs from the accessible Elegan series to the higher-performance Revela series, so there is an entry point at several budgets. We are glad to help you find the right Quad for your room and system.
What does Quad mean by "the closest approach to the original sound"?
It is the design goal Quad has followed for decades: to reproduce a recording as faithfully as possible, adding as little coloration as it can. In practice that means voicing speakers for accurate tone, coherence, and realistic imaging rather than an exaggerated sound. The Revela and Elegan models at Vinyl Sound USA carry that same intent into modern dynamic designs. Ask us to walk you through how each model interprets it.
What are electrostatic speakers, and are they good?
An electrostatic speaker uses a thin charged diaphragm suspended between two panels rather than a conventional cone, which can produce very fast, transparent, and detailed sound, especially in the midrange. Quad is historically famous for its ESL electrostatic designs, which is a big part of the brand's reputation. The collection currently featured at Vinyl Sound USA centers on the dynamic Revela and Elegan speakers, so if you are specifically after Quad's electrostatic models, contact us and we will tell you about current availability and options.
Which Quad speakers does Vinyl Sound USA carry?
The current Quad collection at Vinyl Sound USA includes the Revela 2 floorstanding speaker, the Revela 1 bookshelf speaker (offered as speakers with stands, speakers only, or stands only), the Elegan 1 bookshelf speaker, and the Elegan 2 floorstanding speaker. That gives you two bookshelf and two floorstanding options across two performance tiers. Tell us your room and budget and we will point you to the right pair.
What is the Quad Revela series?
Revela is Quad's modern high-performance dynamic range, built with advanced drivers, rigid cabinets, and careful acoustic tuning for powerful bass, clarity, and detailed imaging. At Vinyl Sound USA it is represented by the Revela 1 bookshelf and the Revela 2 floorstanding speaker. It is the step up in the current Quad lineup for listeners who want more scale and resolution. We can arrange guidance on which Revela suits your space.
Should I choose a Quad bookshelf or floorstanding speaker?
Floorstanding models like the Revela 2 and Elegan 2 have larger cabinets that generally deliver fuller, deeper bass and fill medium to larger rooms without stands. Bookshelf models like the Revela 1 and Elegan 1 suit smaller rooms and setups where you prefer a compact speaker on stands, often paired with a subwoofer for the lowest bass. Room size and placement usually decide it. Vinyl Sound USA can help you match the format to your space.
Do the Quad Revela 1 and Elegan 1 bookshelf speakers need stands?
Bookshelf speakers perform best on proper stands at listening height, which improves imaging and keeps the bass clean. For the Revela 1, Vinyl Sound USA offers a bundle with stands, a speakers-only option, and stands sold separately, so you can add the matching stands or use your own. The Elegan 1 also benefits from solid stands or a firm shelf. Let us know your setup and we will recommend the best mounting.
Do I need a subwoofer with Quad bookshelf speakers?
A subwoofer is not required, but it adds the deep bass that compact bookshelf speakers cannot fully reproduce, which helps movies and bass-rich music. The Revela 1 and Elegan 1 can run happily on their own in smaller rooms, and a subwoofer is an easy add later if you want more low-end weight. Vinyl Sound USA can help you decide based on your room and listening tastes.
What is the difference between the Quad Revela and Elegan series?
Both follow Quad's accuracy-first philosophy, but they sit at different tiers. The Elegan 1 and Elegan 2 are the more accessible entry into the current Quad range, while the Revela 1 and Revela 2 step up with more advanced engineering for greater scale, clarity, and detail. Which one fits depends on your room size and budget. Vinyl Sound USA can help you compare them.
How do I choose the right Quad bookshelf speaker?
Start with room size and how you will place them, then set your budget. For a compact or second room, the Elegan 1 is an affordable start, while the Revela 1 offers a clear step up in performance for a dedicated listening space, with a stand option to match. Both reward good placement on stands away from walls. Share your room and gear with Vinyl Sound USA and we will recommend the right fit.
