Hi-Fi World review (Noel Keywood)
“In the Quartet, Heybrook have produced a loudspeaker of very high sensitivity.”
“Yet again, amongst the myriads of loudspeakers we review, Heybrook have managed to produce one so good that it stands out clearly as a beacon of goodness amongst all those around. The Quartet… is one of the clearest, punchiest loudspeakers I’ve heard for a long time, yet it’s also nicely balanced and in spite of its liveliness, subtle too. If that sounds good, hold on – there’s more! The Quartet is unusually efficient, much more so than the norm. As a result it’s the first modern loudspeaker properly suited for use with valve amplifiers, or low power, high quality, solid state amplifiers.”
“… with the Quartets at one end of the lounge and myself sitting 4 metres away with the measuring microphone (B&K2230) the meter was showing massive 110dB peaks – all my ears could take. An oscilloscope demonstrated, however that full output from the amps was only just being reached on these peaks. So, to all you Q&A writers who have been piteously asking us to recommend a loudspeaker for the Quad II and such like… here it is.”
“Enthusiastic bass gives weight to music, a property most people appreciate I believe. The Quartet has this. What it also has in abundance is superb resolution of dynamic contrasts. Here’s a speaker that is lively and fast, one that can go with a performance, letting crescendos build without hindrance, yet sinking back to portray fine nuances with a delicacy that was delightful.”
“… the Quartets are a fine loudspeaker, fast and lively and relatively accurate. They are very exciting and also very revealing, but watch out for amplifier matching. Valve amplifier owners will delight in their sensitivity and the way they bring out the best in the breed.”
” … the Quartet achieves something special… Producing no less than 89dB sound pressure level for one nominal watt (2.84V) of input, it goes 3dB louder than other speakers at any particular volume setting. That’s quite a lot louder – and no extra stress is placed on the partnering amplifier. So the Quartet is a very easy load and goes loud readily. It’s an obvious contender for use with valve amps as well as solid state designs.”
“Treble falls off above 16kHz, which should bring a smooth sound to CD. High overall impedance means that the Quartets will not demand excessive amplifier current.”
“The Quartet is well engineered in all areas and it is especially sensitive, meaning it can be used with high quality, low power amplifiers.
