Quad Artera Play and Stereo Power Amplifier
cheers peter
The Quad Artera Stereo and Play are excellent and very good value, as these things go. The power-amp is a current dumper with more than enough power and load tolerant to drive just about any speaker you can think of.
i suppose for the money it is fine , buy some people say it is Flat , not musical , and could do better it only got 3 stars what hifi and a couple of other reviews say the same, as i was considering replacing the MF M6 500 I , with the play, but was told that is a step backwards , i don’t need all the power of the MF , i understand that the MF will control the speakers more than the quad, but at a 1000wats a channel into 4ohms, the speakers my not survive a night with a bottle of wine LOL so I am stuck on what to do for the best
I am really not interested in what "some people say". I make up my own mind and to me, the Artera is excellent.
As to damaging speakers with the power - you are just as likely to damage speakers with a less powerful, less well designed amp, running out of power as you are by cranking up the volume on a powerful amp.
