Quad Revela 2 Floorstanding Speakers

The Quad Revela 2 floorstanding speakers bring a rather lovely combination of traditional Quad refinement and contemporary loudspeaker engineering. At their heart is a 27 x 60 mm True Ribbon tweeter, developed over four years to deliver an unusually smooth, delicate and revealing presentation. This is partnered with a dedicated 150 mm midrange driver and twin 165 mm advanced fibre cone woofers, creating a sophisticated three-way design with the scale and authority to handle everything from intimate acoustic recordings to more ambitious orchestral and rock performances. The result is a natural, open sound with plenty of detail, without ever becoming overly forward or analytical.

There is considerable thought behind the cabinetry, too, with carefully engineered internal bracing and a precision-tuned bass reflex port designed to minimise unwanted resonance and keep bass clean and controlled. Finished in elegant Piano Walnut or Piano Black, the Revela 2 has the sort of understated presence that works particularly well in a quality listening room. With 89dB sensitivity and a recommended amplifier range of 20–200 Watts, they offer plenty of flexibility when choosing partnering electronics. For those who appreciate a natural, spacious and thoroughly engaging musical presentation, the Revela 2 makes a rather compelling case for itself.
