Sound and Vision – The Bristol Show is often a great chance for us to take a first look at the latest products from the major hi-fi and home cinema brands, with Quad proving no exception this year.

Now into its 79th year, Quad is celebrating with the launch of its brand-new speaker range: the S Series. The new line is being released this spring and is being exclusively revealed at the show.

The S Series incorporates a specially-designed ribbon tweeter and consists of two stand-mounts, two floorstanders and a centre speaker for multi-channel systems. Prices start at £600 per pair.
