If you read the reviews of this amplifier in the HiFi press they are positive but have reservations about the "finesse" of the design. There's no need to worry, the reviews are wrong, this is an outstandingly good amplifier. I have a pair of Tannoy studio monitors, and the first impression is that the Vena made no difference to the sound. This is a good thing because my previous amplifier was a Mission Cyrus One and I liked the sound but wanted an amp that could cope with optical inputs, Bluetooth and iPod and an iPhone. In truth amplifiers should contribute anything to the sound, but I've found one aspect that some amplifiers fall down on is control of the bass. The Cyrus is very good in this respect and the Vena is the same.The build quality is excellent, much better than the Cyrus. Connectivity to my devices is brilliant and I can stream from my TV, media box, phone etc through Bluetooth or optically via an Airport. The remote is simple and feels rugged, the volume control is motorised so the volume knob moves as you press the remote buttons. The input switching uses relays and is accompanied by a satisfying click as the new input source is selected. Everything feels smooth and well engineered in use. Although the design is restrained, it's recognisable as a Quad product and is clearly designed for people who just want to listen to and enjoy music.The best thing I can say about it is that I tried my favourite music from a number of sources and just lost myself in the music. The amplifier is just a solid presence doing a competent job and not getting in the way at all, yet when you have to use either the remote or the amplifier controls it is a pleasure to use. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars Reliability *by B***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 June 2021* Bought the amp despite a few rumours about reliability and was very happy with it. Unfortunately now after two and a half years it has stopped working. Outside warranty so I will probably not bother trying to have it fixed. At this price I will be buying something from a different manufacturer. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellence as always *by J***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 February 2018* I have bought many Quad products over the years. There is something about a Quad product that is consistent and it is mainly about the quality of sound. You will love their products so buy one of these amplifiers you will not be disappointed. They are a sturdy build with a good after sales service should you Need it. They are the closest approach to the original sound as Peter Walker the genius founder said all those years ago. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/66266067-quad-vena-amplifier](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/66266067-quad-vena-amplifier) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
