So What Happened To QED Electronics ?

[eggontoast]

Back in the eighties, QED ventured into the world of making Hi-Fi components which if I remember correctly were well reviewed. However they only appear to have made about 3 amplifiers then discarded the electronics side of things, does anyone know why ?

Yes I know they exist as a cable company still but, I was curious as to why the electronics side of things was so brief since there products looked promising.

When did they launch this? Is it a recent addition?

Well they started as a cable company, so I guess the electronics – amps, etc – didn't do so well in what was then a crowded market, so the company decided to stick to its core market.

Is there any reviews in the WHF or Gramophone archives for the A240cd/se amplifiers ?

Don't know, but I guess if they don't market it a bit better that won't sell either.

Some more information about QED products (this is a google translation from German)...

clicky

I used to own the A240 SA and T260 tuner. Very nice. I didn't replace them until 1996 when I bought a Rega Brio/Rega Radio set-up.

I am still hunting down info about the QED loudspeakers (JPW?) that were designed to complete the original A230/T231/R232 system.
