Quad S-5 Floorstanding Loudspeakers

Quad has always prided itself as providing the complete solution to music lovers and designed to be 'The Closest Approach To The Original Sound'.

S Series Loudspeakers are no exception fulfilling that objective admirably. Sporting a new ribbon tweeter aligned through sophisticated crossover networks, to Quad's advanced mid-bass drivers, each and every loudspeaker in the range delivers all the nuances and passion of the original performance.

S-5 — THE LARGEST IN THE RANGE

The S-5 is the biggest S Series floorstander and the one that moved to a different driver material. Where the rest of the range uses woven carbon fibre, the S-5 runs woven Kevlar: two 165mm bass drivers and a dedicated 100mm midrange, with three 165mm auxiliary bass radiators loading the cabinet, topped by a 45 x 12mm true ribbon tweeter.

The result is the most sensitive speaker in the range at 90dB, and the only one rated to take 200W — against 100W for every other S Series model. If you have a large room or a powerful amplifier, this is the S Series speaker built for it. For a slimmer cabinet in a mid-sized room, see the S-4.
