That one was bespoke, I’ve got the Heals cab in the office - Graeme is correct the one leg does indeed only store a single Quad II
Clever idea re the leg
I wonder how hot things get in there in the summer time ?

Why didn’t they just make the legs the same and have stereo?! Half a job.

Mono was a common thing back then. Quad released the stereo pre-amp in the same-sized housing as their mono one had occupied, so it was a drop-in replacement. The one in the pic might have been a later modification to the whole unit. The other power amp would have had to have sat outside the cabinet, perhaps hidden behind the other speaker ?

Fell a little bit in love with a pair of Scansonic MB 3.5 yesterday, convinced myself I could place them in the bay. Got home and read the placement guidelines, which I’m sure plays a massive part in the soundstage. Would most probably result in be a classic case of ‘amazing speakers at dealer sound a pile of shite in my home’.
JBL Paragon, the way to go for the spousally challenged meatman😂!
Unless you have an en suite bedroom above a garage and you can convince her that you can make do without speakers in the living room.
Are there any Paragons in the UK?
