Great sound ! Arcam sounds like a great match with Quads. Impossible to tell from UA-cam video but sounds really good, strong, muscular, detailed, engaging. Might be your last upgrade. ( probably not, haha it’s hard to stay put in this hobby )
Haha absolutely! I’ve already bought two other speakers that I’m playing around with 😆 I think the mid range of the quads could be a bit more transparent after listening to these new ones I have. Apart from that they are excellent for what they cost.
@@sylvio1980 Oh don’t get me wrong they are very revealing but when we’re talking about speakers like ls3/5a and so on we are in a totally different league. I have heard them yes as well as some pro ac db1s. The mid range just has a bit more bite in those speakers. But at 3-4 times the cost they aught to 😁
I’m not familiar with the Chord Epic cables but I used to use Clearways on my S2. After fiddling a bit I casually re-connected an old pair of solid core Audioquest I had lying around and the improvement over presence, detail and punch was just silly! Perhaps not as neutral as other cables, but with the S2 I’ve found in audioquest cables the perfect companion for making them sparkle a bit more
I run my S2s with a Quad Artera Solus Play. I like but don't love the set up. I wish they were just a bit brighter and I am going to change them for my Opera Callas speakers plus a subwoofer

@@russellparker4568 Quads do seem transparent. Did you have a chance to listen to any LS3-5a models like Harbeth, Falcon, Spendor ?

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Any other amp less price than Arcam to drive this speaker?
I think the arcam amps sa10, sa20 would be fine. Rega brio should sound good. If you want more power maybe try the Cambridge audio axr100?
@@russellparker4568 thank you, what about emotiva basx300?
@@tonsingmuan I’ve not heard of that amplifier to be honest.

Nice. When i had the quads i liked them better with silver plated cables over just copper. Ive heard tinned copper is good too.
what speakers do you have now @@russellparker4568
Squeaker Speakers🤣🙈.
