    It does look rather over priced to me.... Euros are virtually a pound these days. About half those prices to be on target in the UK I would say. I believe Quad 57's regularly go for £500-700 ish not £2000, Quad II's vary a lot with condition etc but maybe £800- £1200 or so, Quad 22 has pretty little value... £30-70 I guess rather than £300. I don't do much buying and selling though so I'm sure others will be along to give better advice if I'm a bit out on those guesstimates.

    Thought so , I just looked up the 57's and £800 would be max .
    Thanks for the reply

    I'd say he's asking top dollar but not totally unrealistic for that kit in near mint condition. I'm guessing 'revised' means serviced?

    Agree with Jez - everything listed there is overpriced.

    (Though the Neumann microphone might be correctly priced, I don't know. If it was one of the U-series, then they do command high prices.)

    I think Jez is about right here. The Quad II ive seen go recently for £900 in very tidy condition.

    I'd agree too generally. Although I'd regard £900 for Quad II's as steep. I paid £25 for mine and was unimpressed, sold them quickly and got another Leak Stereo 20. Waaaay better! Mind you that was a long time ago.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
