{"product_id":"quad-elegan-2","title":"Quad Elegan 2","description":"\u003ch2\u003eQuad Elegan 2\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Quad Elegan 2 is a three-way floorstanding loudspeaker designed for larger listening spaces and greater dynamic capability. Where the Elegan 1 offers a compact two-way solution, the Elegan 2 steps up to a more sophisticated architecture — twin bass drivers, a dedicated midrange unit in its own isolated enclosure, and a precision tweeter mounted in a profiled waveguide — all working together as a single coherent acoustic system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThree-Way Architecture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDedicating individual drive units to bass, midrange and treble reproduction allows each driver to operate within its optimum range. Twin 165mm woven Kevlar bass drivers handle low-frequency extension with control and composure. A 125mm woven Kevlar midrange driver, housed in its own isolated enclosure, reproduces vocals and instruments with clarity and tonal accuracy. A 25mm soft dome tweeter, mounted within a profiled waveguide, ensures consistent dispersion across a wide listening area. A Linkwitz-Riley crossover network integrates all three, maintaining phase coherence and tonal consistency across the full frequency range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQUAD Airflow™ Bass Reflex\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Elegan 2 uses QUAD's Airflow™ bass reflex system, which is engineered to reduce port turbulence and deliver cleaner, faster and more articulate bass reproduction. Combined with extensive internal cabinet bracing and resonance control, the result is a speaker that stays composed under pressure — bass that is powerful without becoming dominant, and a presentation that holds together during complex musical passages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eScale Without Strain\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Elegan 2 is built for listeners who want genuine floorstanding scale without the fatigue that can accompany it. Stereo imaging extends well beyond the cabinet boundaries, bass reaches deep and controlled low frequencies, and the midrange remains open and expressive whether the music is a solo voice or a full orchestra. It is a speaker that does not shout to be heard — which, in our experience, is often the most telling sign of quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGeneral Description\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-way floorstanding speaker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnclosure Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBass reflex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBass Driver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e165mm woven Kevlar cone x2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMidrange Driver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e125mm woven Kevlar cone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTreble Driver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\" (25mm) soft dome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSensitivity (2.83V @ 1m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended Amplifier Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30–200W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePeak SPL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e106dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNominal Impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8Ω compatible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.0Ω\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency Response (±3dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44Hz – 24kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBass Extension (–6dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrossover Frequency\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e480Hz \u0026amp; 2.7kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCabinet Volume\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.5L (mid) \/ 31L (bass)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight (on plinth)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e942mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e220mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth (with terminals \u0026amp; grille)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e340 + 33mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNet Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28.4kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish Options\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReal wood Walnut veneer \/ Matte Black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard Accessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpike seat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Is It For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Elegan 2 suits listeners with a medium to large listening room who want a full-range floorstanding speaker that rewards careful amplifier matching. With a nominal impedance of 8Ω and a sensitivity of 90dB, it is not a difficult load — but the minimum impedance of 3.0Ω means a capable amplifier is worthwhile. Those who value natural tonal balance, controlled bass and a composed presentation at higher volumes will find it a compelling choice at this price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuying from Martins Hi-Fi\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMartins Hi-Fi has been in Norwich since 1968.
