Speaker Asylum: Re: Need opinions on Quad 12L by duckman

I OWN 21L AND 22L SET UP IN 7.1. USE 22L FRONT FOR MUSIC/HOME THEATER. I DECIDED TO GET 21L FLOORSTANDERS FOR BASS RESPONSE FOR SACD AND DVD AUDIO, OTHERWISE, I WOULD HAVE USED 22L IN FRONT WITH STAND MOUNTS ON SIDE AND REAR.

SOUND FROM THE 21L IS FULLER THAN 11L OR 12L. HOWEVER, IF FINICIAL LIMITATIONS DIRECT YOU TO THE 12L PRICE POINT YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. 11L IS QUICK, FAST, DETAILED, ACCURATE, LARGE SOUNDSTAGE, BEAUTIFUL FINISH (I HAVE BIRDSEYE AND IT IS IMPRESSIVE.) AND THIS IS WHY IT HAS SO MANY POSITVE REVIEWS - SPEAKER OF THE YEAR IN SEVERAL PUBLICATIONS. LAURELS ARE MERITED. THE 12L ARE VERY SIMILAR WITH DEEPER AND MORE BASS RESPONSE, PHYSICS TAKE OVER. LIKE I SAID, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED AT THIS PRICE POINT RANGE.

OTHERS THAT I HAVE HEARD WHILE AUDITIONING THAT A GREAT VALUES ALONG WITH THE QUADS ARE DYNAUDIO 52, DYNAUDIO 52SE, MEADOWLARK,PARADIGM REFERENCE 40, MAGNEPAN MMG AND 1.2, VANDERSTEEN 1CE, AND VANDERSTEEN 2. REVEL M20 AND JOSEPH BOOKSHELFS AT THE $2000.00 ARE SUPERB. I LIKE ACCURATE REPRODUCTION WITH DETAIL,SOUNDSTAGE, RANGE, QUICK, ACCURATE WITH AS MUCH BASS POSSIBLE WITHOUT COMPRIMISING THE NOTED ATTRIBUTES.GOOD LUCK, ENJOY.
