I've had a Quad FM4 since 1982. Its serial number is 1247 and I think it
is a pretty early one. It has had very little use indeed probably less
than 100 hours in total and often went years without being switched on.

I've had a play with it a couple of times recently and been quite
horrified by it. It has no bass, none at all. I would estimate nothing
below 100Hz ever comes out of the thing. My only question is do other
people find this with the FM4 or is it FM tuners in general?


I have to say it is without doubt one of my least successful Hi-Fi
purchases and I can't remember what on earth convinced me to buy it.
Are they still thought anything of or are most of them in the bin by now
due to...

1) It is a horrid brown colour with yellow buttons and huge LEDs.
2) Inadequate 7 presets.
3) No phonos - Din sockets for goodness sake.
4) Lower output level than anything else on the planet.
5) Styling from the Ark, Did Noah have one?


Cheers,

Bob.

I get the impression you want to quit it
OK... I'll take that piece of s**t off your hands for 30 quid.
