As of 2017-02-24, updated to include Subwoofer costs:
Ouch. Still, cheaper than a Quad rebuild, and remember, this includes the DSP and amp, unlike Dr. Frank's kit. And also the plans from SL!
24 Feb 2017: Subwoofer adds about £450 to the cost, most of which is the enormous drivers, at nearly £200 each! They are astounding impressive though. Let's hope the sonic effects are as massive.

500 quid versus £1000+ for the service on your existing set isn't bad. Will you sell them on once you've built their replacements?
ReplyDeleteThere's only one problem with that, and that's that the Quads are good for maybe £1000 if not in need of a service... Maybe someone will take them away! I don't know. Could try rebuilding them myself?! In principle, I can sell the amp/preamp I have, which would be more like £3000, thus making it worth it.
