That's too high a price for Quads - presumably they were the latest big model 2912. In the UK (where they are designed, specified and serviced) the list price is £8000 a pair including 20% VAT.
I recently bought the almost identical 2905 model that was serviced last year by Quad and with 2912 transformers for £3000 ish.
A truly wonderful speaker even at reasonably robust levels and with surprisingly full and deep bass. They do need a substantial amplifier and I wonder if your dealer was using a suitable amp. I use a 200 watt GamuT D200 amp and that is a good combination. I wouldn't suggest anything less to power the Quads. By comparison my horn speakers are happy with 5 watts!
