Only been used for about 20 hours. In as new condition with all the packaging. Only selling as Ive been given another pair due to a bereavement Excellent speakers and not many new ones left as they havebeen discontinued, Quad are part of the IAG group that are a big supplier of hifi equipment. Excellent review on stereophile.com if your interested in this model. Listened quite a few before buying these as I wanted some compact that dont take up much room and these are Excellent.
