Awesome speakers that changed my concept of what good speakers should sound like.

Look at the speakers… look at the price…
When I heard it, I didn’t believe my ears!
Perfectly natural signature. No tone or texture change. I’m sure it was exactly like Bhimsenji wanted us to hear it.
Sure it could have been louder, but when you get something so compact, and with such fidelity, don’t think… just buy it!
You’re getting smart stands too.

Excellent speakers. Great build quality. Vocals really stand out. Quit transparent and neutral. A must listen speaker for those planning on new speakers.
Highly resolving! –
Quad S2 can stand their own against the famous Harbeth P3ESR.. Bought them in 2018.. Highly resolving and articulate in this price range!
Abhay Kumar –
Excellent pair of speakers. Superb sound quality, specially vocals. Great soundstage imaging, Transparent & Natural sounding, great value for money in this price range. Requires little burn-in time. It sounds much better after one year of usage.

Great neutral sound. I’m not a basshead myself but people who listen to hip-hop may be a tad disappointed with slight lack of punch when it comes to low frequencies. It’s adequate but not pronounced. Vocals are especially sweet. It’s as though Stevie Nicks is singing to you. I have mine paired with a Rega Brio and an ifi Zen Stream and the result is truly terrific. Can’t wait to see how analog sources sound like.
