Anyone in possession of a functioning brain is well aware that the
II-40 is simply a cynical cashing in on the famous Quad II name, which
would never have been sanctioned by Peter Walker. He was a *real*
engineer, and always moved forward with his designs, never backward.

You might be interested in the following quotes from the Quad L Series
Owner's Manual.

"Most of the audio signal going to the speaker drives the bass units.
When one cable feeds both bass and treble units, this heavy bass
current can modulate the high frequencies. Using separate cables for
treble and bass units reduces intermodulation effects and improves
headroom and clarity."

"Loudspeakers are electro-mechanical and, like all mechanical systems,
the need a 'running in' period. For the first 50 hours or so exercise
care and play your system at reasonable volume levels. After running
in, you will notice a significant sonic improvement."

As I have often stated, Ross Walker was a prime example of the
founder's idiot son ruining the company.................

The above crap is just further degradation into the lala land of
marketing-speak, now that it's no longer really Quad, but just another
badge-engineered product from the land of the Dragon.
