"The low-distortion reproduction coming from the sleek Bauhaus-style Quadral Qube will enthral any listener. It was noticeably unobtrusive during the reproduction sequences yet it had a decisive emphasis when reproducing spectacular sound effects, such as those in the flight scenes in ‘Avatar’. Even music gourmets will come to love it as it makes the complete music spectrum audible right down to the deepest frequencies.”
+ It can perform loud and deep, and very cleanly as well

PLATINUM M SET, CONSISTING OF: PLATINUM M50, PLATINUM M25, PLATINUM M10 AND QUBE 12
"Conclusion Quadral's Platinum-M set does not come cheap, but the set is worth its price. The superb finished high-gloss ensemble does not need take up a lot of space, but it will easily fill a huge room with superb elemental bass tones. Both music and voices always sound natural and films are reproduced homogeneously and non-stressfully. This is why the set gets 90 points (out of 100) and reaches our "reference class."
