Description from the seller

For Sale: Quad 405-2 Power Amplifier – The Definitive British Powerhouse

Step into true high-fidelity performance with the legendary Quad 405-2, the refined second generation of Quad’s award-winning current-dumping power amplifier.

This unit offers the hallmark Quad sound: clean, smooth, and dynamically authoritative, capable of driving a wide range of loudspeakers with grace.
