QUAD Platina Integrated Amplifier + QUAD Revela 2 Floorstanding Speakers

QUAD Platina Integrated Amplifier + QUAD Revela 2 Floorstanding Speakers – Stereo Package Experience QUAD’s signature musical performance with this premium stereo package combining the QUAD Platina Integrated Stereo Amplifier with a pair of QUAD Revela 2 Floorstanding Speakers. Designed for serious music lovers and audiophiles, this combination brings together QUAD’s flagship-class amplification and advanced loudspeaker technology. The powerful Platina Integrated provides exceptional control and dynamic headroom, while the Revela 2 speakers deliver a spacious, detailed and natural presentation with deep, articulate bass. The result is a beautifully balanced high-end stereo system capable of reproducing everything from intimate vocal recordings and acoustic music to rock, jazz, classical and large-scale orchestral performances with authority and refinement. Why the QUAD Platina and Revela 2 Make an Excellent Combination System matching plays an important role in achieving great sound. The Platina Integrated and Revela 2 are particularly well suited because the amplifier provides ample power and current to control the Revela 2’s three-way driver configuration. The Platina Integrated delivers 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms, giving the Revela 2 plenty of headroom for dynamic passages while maintaining control at lower listening levels. With the Revela 2’s 89dB sensitivity and 6-ohm nominal impedance, the Platina has ample power to drive the speakers confidently. The combination delivers strong bass control, open midrange reproduction and the smooth, detailed treble associated with QUAD’s ribbon technology. QUAD Platina Integrated Stereo Amplifier At the heart of this stereo package is the QUAD Platina Integrated, a powerful modern integrated amplifier developed as part of QUAD’s flagship Platina Series. Its dual-mono Class AB amplifier design produces 200W per channel into 8 ohms, with substantial current capability and headroom for demanding loudspeakers. A custom-designed 630VA toroidal transformer and substantial power supply help the amplifier maintain control during demanding musical passages. This combination of power and refinement allows the Platina Integrated to reproduce subtle musical information while still delivering the scale and impact required by larger recordings. Powerful Dual-Mono Class AB Amplification The Platina Integrated offers: 200W per channel into 8 ohms Up to 310W per channel into 4 ohms Dual-mono Class AB amplifier architecture Maximum output current of 20A 630VA high-power toroidal transformer Substantial power supply capacity This gives the amplifier the authority required for floorstanding loudspeakers such as the Revela 2 while retaining the finesse expected from a premium QUAD amplifier. High-End ES9038PRO DAC The Platina Integrated is equally capable with digital music. Its digital section is built around the highly regarded ESS ES9038PRO 32-bit DAC, supporting high-resolution digital playback up to PCM 768kHz and DSD512 through USB. Five selectable DAC reconstruction filters allow listeners to subtly tailor digital playback according to their system, recordings and personal preference. MM and MC Phono Stage Vinyl listeners are also well catered for. The Platina Integrated incorporates a dedicated low-noise MM/MC phono stage, allowing compatible moving magnet and moving coil cartridges to be connected directly to the amplifier. Three selectable gain settings of 46dB, 52dB and 60dB provide additional flexibility when matching different cartridges. This makes the system an excellent foundation for a high-quality turntable-based stereo setup without necessarily requiring a separate phono preamplifier. Extensive Analogue and Digital Connectivity The QUAD Platina Integrated is designed to become the centre of a complete modern music system. 2 x RCA analogue inputs 1 x balanced XLR input MM/MC phono input 2 x coaxial digital inputs 2 x optical digital inputs USB-C audio input HDMI ARC RCA output Balanced XLR output Digital optical and coaxial outputs Dedicated headphone amplifier 12V trigger connections The inclusion of HDMI ARC also makes it easy to integrate the stereo system with a compatible television, allowing the Revela 2 speakers to significantly improve the sound of movies, television programmes and concerts. QUAD Revela 2 Floorstanding Speakers The QUAD Revela 2 is an advanced three-way floorstanding loudspeaker developed to deliver scale, clarity and musical detail while maintaining the natural presentation associated with QUAD. Each speaker combines two 165mm advanced fibre bass drivers, a dedicated 150mm midrange driver and QUAD’s sophisticated 27 x 60mm True Ribbon high-frequency driver. This dedicated three-way arrangement allows each driver to concentrate on the frequency range it handles best. QUAD True Ribbon Tweeter One of the highlights of the Revela 2 is its True Ribbon high-frequency driver. Developed following extensive research, the ribbon tweeter is designed to reproduce fine high-frequency information with exceptional delicacy and clarity. Rather than presenting treble in an overly bright or aggressive manner, the Revela 2 aims for smooth, open and highly resolved high frequencies. Small details in vocals, cymbals, strings and recording ambience can be reproduced naturally, helping create a convincing sense of space around performers. Advanced Reveal Midrange and Bass Drivers The Revela Series uses QUAD’s specially developed Reveal diaphragm material, combining wood pulp with artificial fibres to improve damping and strength. In the Revela 2, a dedicated 150mm driver handles the important midrange region while twin 165mm drivers reproduce the bass. The result is designed to provide: Natural and articulate vocals Excellent instrumental separation Controlled and powerful bass Smooth transition between drivers Strong dynamic performance Clear reproduction during complex musical passages Deep, Controlled Bass With two dedicated 165mm bass drivers and a carefully engineered bass-reflex enclosure, the Revela 2 can reproduce substantial low-frequency energy while maintaining definition and control. The speakers offer a specified frequency response of 40Hz to 24kHz ±3dB, with bass extension reaching approximately 35Hz at -6dB. Combined with the Platina Integrated’s high-current amplification, bass notes have the power and scale expected from a substantial floorstanding loudspeaker without sacrificing speed and articulation. Carefully Engineered Cabinet The Revela 2 enclosure is more than an attractive piece of furniture. Its cabinet incorporates internal bracing and carefully engineered panels intended to minimise unwanted vibration and resonance. The port design has also been developed to reduce unwanted resonances and excessive bass colouration. Premium polished finishes complement the sophisticated engineering, allowing the Revela 2 to become an impressive visual centrepiece in a dedicated listening room or living space. A Complete High-End Stereo System The combination of the QUAD Platina Integrated and Revela 2 creates a highly capable stereo system for listeners who want both musical refinement and substantial power. The Platina’s powerful Class AB amplification gives the Revela 2 excellent control, while its sophisticated DAC and phono stage allow the system to accommodate both modern digital sources and traditional analogue playback. Whether listening quietly in the evening or enjoying music at realistic levels, the system is designed to maintain clarity, balance and musical involvement.
