It doesn't make them low quality. It resizes them for specific sections of the website, by adding a query string to the image URL. So when you stretch an image in one of these sections to make them bigger, they may look blurry.

How to change this value?
You can change image size values of individual sections such as: user profile page, top users page, questions, answers, comments, question lists, message lists.
Go to Admin > Users > scroll down to "Avatar size on" section.
Edit
PS: After updating image sizes on that section and there's still one specific user that their image still appears blurry, it's most likely they've uploaded a very small image, like 30x30 pixels , and now it's getting stretched to a bigger size.
