Verdict: "We have the good fortune of listening to a lot of products, and the best ones are those that allow you to take leave of your critical faculties and leave you with music. This happened often with the Quad S-1, whose way with vocals is simply enchanting. They’re not about to muster much authority, but we don’t think that’s a big deal when you’re already listening with rapt attention. If you have a smaller room and you like your performances intimate, these are an absolute treat."

Description

Quad has always prided itself on providing music lovers with the complete solution. Each Quad component fits perfectly with other parts of the hi-fi system and is designed with one goal – to reproduce “as close as possible to the original sound”.

The Quad S Series speakers achieve this goal admirably. With a new ribbon tweeter matched to the advanced Kevlar-diaphragm bass-midrange drivers via sophisticated crossover networks, each speaker in the range delivers all the nuances and passion of the original performance.
"With the S1, Quad presents a visually and acoustically brilliant compact speaker that delivers a harmonious and surprisingly round sound for its size. The fresh and light reproduction of the ribbon tweeter is outstanding; straight voices develop a magical pull. The stylized notes on the tweeter are therefore not only the company's trademark, but also a clear sonic statement: This is where the music plays!"
