The Quad Classic Series pays homage to the
look of yesteryear and the design philosophy of
Peter Walker, but does so with the latest in parts
and construction technology.

The Quad II- Forty is the modern-day descendant of the Quad II amplifier |
Built for today’s audiophile, the Classic Series mono vacuum
tube amplifiers are an excellent investment in good sound.
The Quad Classic Series products offer the very best technology and build
quality in valve amplification while remaining faithful to Peter Walkers designs and ideals of offering good, solid design, build, and sound quality.
Offered in power output levels of 15, 40, and 80 watts, the Classic Series mono
amplifiers all share the same rugged build, proven circuitry, and sublime sound.

In addition to this selection of mono power amplifiers, Quad also offers the QC-
Twenty-Four preamplifier with optional solid state phono section and the QC-
Twenty-Four P vacuum tube phono preamplifier.
The QC- Twenty-Four preamplifier features a 6111 twin triode tube. This tube
is so reliable that it is hard-wired onto the circuit board. It also features two buffered recording loops and a balance control!
The balance control allows for fine adjustment of channel balance of up to 12
decibels in either direction. A plug-in solid stage phono section is also available
as an option on the QC- Twenty-Four.
The QC- Twenty-Four offers vanishing low distortion, exception band width, and
beautiful sound at a reasonable price.
The QC- Twenty-Four P vacuum tube phono preamplifier is a stand-alone phono
stage that offers vanishingly low distortion measurements and the choice of
variable output level. It is suitable for most moving magnet and moving coil
phono cartridges on the market.
Quiet operation, flat frequency response, and wide bandwidth operation are what the QC- Twenty-Four P have to offer; all at a very reasonable price.

An integrated amplifier can be the best solution when you need one box to take
care of amplification, control, and RIAA equalization and amplification, rather
than having two or three boxes. But an even better reason for choosing a Quad
II Classic Integrated Amplifier is that it just sounds great. The II- Classic features
all of the smart engineering and exceptional build quality that typify Quad.
This integrated is a sure winner for anyone who likes great sound.
