You must have been a lad more recently than me, Keith. 12W sufficed
even when I was a young man. I bought the first set of Quad ESL into
South Africa at the Rand Show, together with Quad II to drive them.
They were half the power of your memory!

Quad II were 12 watt? Mine must have come from a different factory...

The makers' specification states::
Maximum power 15W.
THD 3H and higher at 12W = 0.1%.

It is generally regarded as a 12W amp, in the same way
as the Radford STA25 (max power 30W) was regarded
as a 25W amp.


The standard DIY starter amp for many years was the Mullard designed 3/3.


People still build them. It's a great first project:-)
A metal shop by the name of Spire Audio offfered pre-cut chassis kits, and
front plates, and sold several hundred in a very short space of time.
