kemela is a Quad Reference dealer covering Atlanta and the Southeast. Quad is a well-known traditional HiFi company whose success is rooted in its products' appeal to music lovers. Quad's products are engineered for longevity; this is never sacrificed for short-term marketing advantage. New models are released on average every decade or longer - rather than every other year - and only after significant improvements towards Quad's mission of reproducing music in a form as close to the original performance as possible have been accomplished. Models over 50 years old are still serviced.
Quad's 99 series was highly regarded; a pre-amplifier with built-in phono stage and useful tone controls, a CD player/digital hub with access to the DAC from additional SPDIFF and Optical digital inputs, and with both fixed and volume controled variable outputs (no preamplifier required).
The QuadLink balanced mode interconnection system eliminated the need for interconnect cables and enabled easy modular upgrades.

The new Quad Elite series takes performance to the next level with new circuit layouts and higher grade compoments. The popular, award winning, highly recommended 909 current dumping amplifier is now superseded by the QSP current dumping amplifier. The new Quad QSP amplifier has noticeably greater high frequently resolution, better timing and definition while retaining the natural linear amplification that always made the Quad sound very smooth without the aggressive hardness found in many other solid state amplifiers. Very low cross-over and intermodulation distortion has always been a strenth of Quad's current dumping design, but it is readily apparent that Quad QSP amplifier has further and very significantly refined these qualities. Individual voices and instrumental parts are delightfully easy to pick out and the focus is breathtaking.

Quad has an up-to-date line up of tube amplifiers including a purist pre-amplifier, phono stage amplifier, and an excellent tube integrated amplifier that are all still based on original proven circuit designs. Again top quality components and manufacture has raised performance so they fair well in the competitive tube market place. Quad's tube equipment delivers the dynamics and mid-range presence tube lovers look for.

Quad is the world's acknowledged leader in electrostatic speakers.
Electrostatic speakers can keep up with rapidly changing musical events because the ultra light-weight membrane has none of the mechanical inertia or hysteris effects of conventional loudspeaker drives yet they present numerous engineering challenges.
Only Quad makes a full-range, cross-over free, virtual point source design and is why many reviewers regard Quad's award winning electrostatic speakers as the definitive electrostatic speaker and their "desert island" choice. The latest Quad ESL 2805 and reference Quad ESL 2905 models are pure electrostatic speakers without the overhead and compromise that hybrid cross over designs manifest. The virtual point source design gives a wide dispersion pattern and extraordinarily integrated coherent sound that makes room and listening positioning much easier.
