the Elite QSP further evolves the template of classic Quad current dumping formula by fully utilising contemporary audiophile principals. Extensive research into screening techniques ensures optimal control of crosstalk and the flow of magnetic fields. New PCB layouts, screened signal paths, custom-made transformers and shielding to protect the amplifier boards from mains hum all contribute to an overall design that delivers a clean, performance and an excellent dynamic range
Despite its relatively compact size, the Elite QSP has plenty of power on tap –140W per channel into 8 ohms and 250W into a 4ohm load ensuring any speakers can be driven with ease, including Quadʼs classic ESL electrostatic designs. With power and current to spare, the net result is the sonic clarity and sweetness of a superb Class A amplifier, combined with the grip and control of the best Class AB designs. Simple, solid and classy on the outside and devilishly clever within, the Elite QSP maintains Quadʼs traditional place at the forefront of modern amplifier design.
