Quad Z-1 Loudspeakers
The Z Series is Quad's flagship ribbon tweeter loudspeaker range, designed and engineered to offer a more refined level of detail and clarity over previous models and competitor speakers on the market. Utilising a quality Kevlar driver design and a unique sandwich formation, a particularly robust and room-filling speaker is possible, while the new ribbon tweeter development allows for delicate microdynamics to stand out and not get lost in this punchy, warm bass/midrange. Each Z series loudspeaker is housed within a luxurious piano lacquered cabinet; available in one of three finishes.
The Z-1 is the entry level bookshelf model within Quad's Z Series. The Z-1 is comprised of a 150mm Kevlar midrange/bass cone and a 'true ribbon' tweeter, allowing the luxurious loudspeaker to offer a punchy, engaging midrange tempered with a controlled bass and a vast, precise soundstage.
