“We can’t help but find ourselves seduced by a listening experience that’s every bit as delightful as that of the originals, with resultant night-long sessions. The 33/303 is a charmer, and Peter Walker would be proud. We’ll be buying a set as our mid-priced reference. What more can we say? ”

Creative Audio Pro Tips

  • The QUAD 33 will sound great right out of the box, but will sound even better after 100 hours of use.

  • We always recommend quality interconnect cables both from your source(s) as well as to your power amplifier.
