Quad has introduced two new loudspeakers in its Elegan Series, expanding its hi-fi lineup with one standmount model and one floorstanding option. The new products are called the Elegan 1 and Elegan 2, giving buyers a choice between a more compact speaker and a larger floorstanding design.
The company is positioning the new range as a way to deliver high-end performance at more accessible prices. That approach suggests Quad is targeting listeners who want a more premium sound without stepping into the most expensive end of the speaker market.
A key design detail shared by both models is the use of woven Kevlar drivers. Kevlar is often associated with rigidity and controlled movement in speaker cones, so its inclusion will likely be one of the main talking points for buyers comparing the Elegan Series with other mid-range hi-fi speakers.
With the Elegan 1 and Elegan 2, Quad appears to be building out a speaker family that covers different room sizes and listening setups while keeping a focus on value. More detailed comparisons between the two models will likely center on their cabinet format and how each fits into different home audio systems.
