Quad's history and the wonderful hi-fi it has made doesn't automatically guarantee that every new product is going to be better than the competition.  Differentiating Quad as 'real hi-fi' and Q Acoustics as something less based on the name isn't helpful to anyone.

Like people in any profession, hi-fi dealers are a mixed bag.  The best will spend time with you, listen to your needs, share their thoughts and advice based on experience, and provide good demonstrations to support this and give you opportunity to make your own mind up.  Find one of those and give their experience and advice the respect it deserves.  In the end the final decision about which option you buy is yours, but informing that decision with advice and demonstration from a good dealer is sensible.

there's a thread where someone isn't very impressed with q acoustics customer service? Quad customer service is very good..they service old kit for reasonable money ..quad is proper hifi..its very well made, sounds excellent..and has good customer service..its been around since forever..yes I wouldn't mention q acoustics and quad in the breath..but the salesperson can? Mmm? Even when the op wants to buy the quad speakers, the salesperson still has the temerity to try and sell a inferior speaker..lol..its nuts!
