Quad Elegan 2 Floorstanding Speaker (Pair), Walnut Overview
The QUAD Elegan 2 is designed for listeners who want the natural balance of the Elegan series with greater scale, deeper bass, and stronger dynamic capability. Its 3-way floorstanding design gives bass, midrange, and treble their own dedicated drivers, helping music stay composed through complex passages while keeping vocals and instruments clearly separated.
Twin 6.5-inch woven Kevlar bass drivers give the Elegan 2 bass extension down to 32Hz, while a dedicated 4.9-inch woven Kevlar midrange driver sits in its own isolated enclosure for cleaner vocal and instrumental detail. A 1-inch fabric dome tweeter, profiled waveguide, Linkwitz-Riley crossover, braced cabinet, and QUAD Airflow bass reflex system all work together to support smooth integration, stable imaging, and controlled low-frequency output. With 90dB sensitivity and recommended amplifier power from 30W to 200W, it is well suited to serious stereo systems in larger rooms.

View Full DescriptionThree-Way Design For Greater Scale
The Elegan 2 uses a three-way design with dedicated drivers handling bass, midrange and treble separately. This allows each part of the frequency range to be reproduced more effectively, helping complex recordings sound clearer and better organised. The larger driver arrangement also gives music greater scale and more confident dynamics, particularly with orchestral pieces, rock and other layered recordings. By separating these duties across purpose-built drive units, the ELEGAN 2 can maintain clarity as volume and musical complexity increase.
Focused Midrange And Smooth Treble
A dedicated 4.9-inch woven Kevlar midrange driver sits within its own isolated enclosure, helping reduce interference from the bass drivers. This keeps vocals, guitars and other midrange detail open, focused and easier to follow. Above it, a 1-inch fabric dome tweeter works with a profiled waveguide to control high-frequency dispersion. This helps maintain smooth treble and stable stereo imaging across a wider listening area, so the presentation remains balanced even when you are not seated directly between the speakers.
Controlled Bass And Cabinet Engineering
Twin 6.5-inch woven Kevlar bass drivers extend the Elegan 2's low-frequency response down to 32Hz, giving music a deeper and more substantial foundation. This provides greater bass scale than the smaller ELEGAN 1 without relying on exaggerated low frequencies. Internal cabinet bracing helps reduce unwanted vibration, while QUAD's Airflow bass reflex system uses a profiled port to minimise turbulence. Together, these design elements help bass remain clean, controlled and clearly defined during demanding music and higher-volume listening.
Features
- The 3-way floorstanding design gives bass, midrange and treble dedicated drivers for greater scale, separation and control.
- Twin 6.5-inch woven Kevlar bass drivers deliver deep, composed low frequencies with enough weight for larger listening spaces.
- Bass extension down to 32Hz gives music convincing depth without requiring an oversized cabinet.
- A dedicated 4.9-inch woven Kevlar midrange driver helps vocals and instruments sound clearer and more focused.
- The isolated midrange enclosure reduces interference from the bass section, improving tonal accuracy and definition.
- A 1-inch fabric dome tweeter provides smooth high-frequency detail without making the presentation overly bright.
- The profiled tweeter waveguide controls dispersion, helping maintain consistent imaging across a wider listening area.
- A Linkwitz-Riley crossover network helps the drivers work together with improved phase coherence and tonal consistency.
- QUAD's Airflow bass reflex system reduces port turbulence, helping low frequencies remain clean, controlled and articulate.
- Compatibility with amplifiers rated from 30W to 200W makes the ELEGAN 2 suitable for a wide range of hi-fi systems.
