The history of Quad is one of the technical achievement in the field of sound reproduction.
It began with the product - Quad II power amplifier, in 1953 which set the standard for amplifiers. Three years later, in 1956, Quad demonstrated the first true full-range electrostatic loudspeakers. This remarkable product, known later as the ESL 57, used a virtually mass-less plastic film as a moving diaphragm between two charged plates. Compared with moving coil loudspeakers, the ESL 57 was free of unwanted colourations and distortions. This landmark product remained in production, virtually unchanged for 28 years.
With years of excellence, we, at Element Acoustics, are happy to represent Quad in Greater Vancouver area.
