The story of the Quested brand is a classic example of what happens when an engineer can't find tools that meet his requirements, so he decides to build them himself. Roger Quested started in the 60s as a tape operator at Olympic Studios, climbing the career ladder alongside giants like Glyn Johns, working on debut albums by Led Zeppelin and records by The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd. When, as a studio manager in the 80s, he couldn't stand the fatiguing sound of contemporary speakers, he built his own system. The result was so good that colleagues started asking for "the same thing for themselves".
Officially founded in 1985, the company became famous for its uncompromising approach to large main monitors, which used silk domes instead of harsh compression drivers. This gave them immense power with zero ear fatigue—a feature that attracted Hans Zimmer. The famous composer has remained loyal to the brand since 1986, and Quested monitors are still the heart of his Remote Control studio, where soundtracks for Hollywood's biggest blockbusters are created.
For Wired Tunes customers, Quested is synonymous with the "British sound"—warm yet precise, with massive dynamic headroom. Whether you choose small nearfield monitors (like the V2108) or large three-way systems, you get gear that doesn't try to impress with artificial highs but allows you to work for hours without a headache. It's the choice for those who want to feel the music physically without losing control over the details.
