Majority Quadriga

Has anybody heard the Majority Quadriga? Saw an article on what Hi-Fi mentioning it but would be interested in hearing how it sounds?

Either find a dealer within reasonable range of home to give it a listen or, buy from Amazon and, send it back if you don't like it.

It's another new name on me. Blag a demo and decide whether it's any good.

Looking at the apparent lack of dealers it would seem demoing one might prove difficult unless you buy and return if not satisfied.

Yeah, them and dozens of other brands. Also just because they have the brand on a said dealer website there's no guarantee they hold stocks.

Unilet are Leema dealers yet the only models they stock is the Elements, Tucana models.

Afraid I haven't, but having quickly looked at it, not sure what advantages it gives over a Sonos product (unless you need / want the extra functionality such as CD / broadcast radio).

Thanks all. Only option is Amazon and return if I don’t like. I’d be interested in a review from what Hi-Fi.

The online firm Very seem to stock it as well.
You will not get a review from WHF unless they actually send one for review.
Keep looking on the web, someone may review it.

Probably something to do with added function and cost...... And yes, some people do require DAB radio and / or CD function so its nothing like a Sonus product

For the big price of £249, I was expecting a bit more fanciness when it came to the UI display and the modern tech elements, however, as a whole package, £249 seems reasonable and the screen does do the job.

I would say ridiculously cheap. However, I would only consider it if I could somehow get 5 years warranty.

Another review. One of the only two "Cons" is Price!!! Despite saying that

The Quadriga by Majority currently retails for 229.95 pounds inside the UK ... a price tag which is considerably lower compared to competing models with similar features and specifications

Anyone considering this unit should also check for "Toshiba Laptop 75W 15V 5A" power adapter to replace the power adapter offered with this unit. It is not the double power capacity that is important, it is size. The larger adapter has a larger capacitor for power reserves, which is necessary to actually operate at more than a few watts.

That's why laptops have them even thought they do not need to drive 6" woofers.

Thanks for the reply’s. Much appreciated.

I'd not wait for a review in What hifi.
Order from Amazon and judge for yourself.
Only you will know if you like it or not.
You will have 30 days to audition and if you do not like it. return it

I bought a majority radio from Amazon for my daughter. I must say I'm surprised at how good the sound quality is, plus build quality and features are also very good. I can well imagine that the model you are looking at will be even better, so order it from Amazon, if it doesn't meet your requirements just return it.

Thanks Din5👍

From a technical standpoint, it appears that the port tuning is such that the subwoofer is only useful for a narrow frequency range; this is how you can get high volume with little power. The short sound demos in this video review are very illuminating:
