   And Phil thought the Radford was cheap !!! LOL:-)   
      
   According to the spec I have before me (Hi Fi Year Book)   
   Quad II is quoted at 15W. Distortion 3rd harmonic and   
   higher is given as 0.1% at 12W   
      
   So if we are to compare apples with apples and use   
   0.1% as a standard as Radford did, then the Quad II   
   is a 12W amp.

   Just as an Aston Martin could be used for pizza delivery
