Quad L-ITE

Outstanding build quality ; Potent bass performance ; Detailed sound

Could be a little more aggressive ; Larger than most compact speakers

On the back you’ll find stereo RCA input and output, LFE input, a phase control switch and dials to control volume and crossover frequency.

Lovely integration both between the satellites and to the subwoofer ; Pleasing detail resolution ; Even tonal balance ; Fine build and finish

Sound lacks enthusiasm ; Quality of the competition

This package, then, delivers a really good performance both with music and movies – but it’s not quite class leading. Its measured delivery sacrifices entertainment for analysis to a certain degree.

Elegant styling; solid build quality; potent, immersive sound with excellent dynamics and good scale; detail reproduction

Safe sound lacks aggression; plenty of other rivals at this price point

QUAD has downsized its L Series loudspeakers to a more diminutive design. The result of this shrinkage is the L-ite multichannel package.

Very versatile

Cone goes into overload fairly easily

Nice little speaker when used as the rear channels in part of a 5.1 surround sound set up, where the front pair are larger quad speakers, body finish is excellent.

The low frequency range is a little weak, but that's not an issue if you have a supporting sub-woofer. Don't think I'd use them as a stand alone front pair, but maybe they would be ok in a less demanding situation, i.e bedroom or dining room.

They are small and have a good sound

none

They look great and sound bigger than their size

A bit fiddly to install on a wall to tighten screw
