ELEGAN 2 (Release)
The Evolving ‘entry-level’ loudspeaker
Today’s listener expects performance that integrates seamlessly into both the system and the living environment—acoustically, visually, and practically. ELEGAN responds to this shift with a simplified, focused range and a design language that reflects modern expectations. This is not entry-level. It is accessible high-fidelity.

QUAD ELEGAN 2
Effortless Scale. Natural Authority.
The QUAD ELEGAN 2 builds upon the same acoustic philosophy as ELEGAN 1 while extending performance through a sophisticated three-way architecture designed for larger listening spaces and greater dynamic capability.
Powerful yet composed, revealing yet remarkably easy to listen to, ELEGAN 2 delivers the scale and authority expected of a floorstanding loudspeaker without sacrificing the natural balance that has defined QUAD for generations.
It is engineered to reproduce music honestly, allowing every recording to breathe with space, realism and emotion.
Three-Way Engineering for Greater Musical Resolution
By dedicating individual drive units to bass, midrange and treble reproduction, ELEGAN 2 allows each component to perform within its optimum operating range.
Twin 165mm woven Kevlar bass drivers provide deep, controlled low-frequency extension with exceptional composure. The dual driver system allows bass extension down to 32Hz.
Adedicated 125mm polypropylene midrange driver, housed within its own isolated enclosure, reproduces vocals and instruments with outstanding clarity and tonal accuracy.
The result is effortless dynamics, improved separation and a presentation that remains composed even during complex musical passages.
Designed to Reveal Every Performance
Great loudspeakers never sound forced.
Instead, ELEGAN 2 presents music with an effortless sense of scale. Bass is powerful without becoming dominant, the midrange remains open and expressive, while high frequencies retain their detail and refinement without harshness.
Stereo imaging extends well beyond the loudspeaker cabinets themselves, creating a broad and stable soundstage that invites the listener deeper into every recording.
Whether enjoying delicate acoustic performances or large-scale orchestral works, ELEGAN 2 maintains the coherence and musical integrity that define the QUAD listening experience.
Advanced Engineering. Seamless Integration.
The ELEGAN 2's acoustic performance is supported by carefully developed engineering throughout.
THe precision 25mm fabric dome tweeter is mounted within a profiled waveguide, optimising dispersion for consistent performance across a wide listening area.
A carefully engineered Linkwitz-Riley crossover network integrates each drive unit seamlessly, ensuring phase coherence and tonal consistency across the full frequency range.
Internally, the cabinet employs extensive bracing and resonance control to minimise unwanted vibration, while the QUAD Airflow™ bass reflex system reduces port turbulence to deliver cleaner, faster and more articulate bass reproduction.
Every engineering decision contributes towards a loudspeaker that behaves as one coherent acoustic system.
Designed for Contemporary Living
The ELEGAN 2 has been created to complement modern interiors as naturally as it complements music.
Its clean architectural form, refined proportions and understated detailing allow it to integrate effortlessly into contemporary living spaces. Premium Matte Black and real Walnut veneer finishes provide a choice of modern sophistication or timeless elegance, while subtle QUAD branding reflects the same design language as the company's latest electronics.
It is every bit as considered visually as it is acoustically.
