I just revamped my sound system. I bought the Quad 11L's, QUAD 99 CD, QUAD 99 preamp, QUAD 909. WOW! I wish I did this sooner. Best sound I've had. My old system was more than twice the price too!
From the smaller quads, go to the 22L's. They are wonderfull speakers, sharing the qualities of the 21L, but with better (and more) bass. I do not agree that the 21L sounds better, maybe with average amplification. Feed the 22L a quality signal and your jaw will DROP !
Hi: New 12Ls. After moving speakers away from rear wall about 10 inches, plugged both rear ports with straws to flatten a 6 dB bump around 100 Hz. After the "strawing" peak is under 4 dB and low end is now -6 dB at 45 Hz instead of 50 Hz. Electronics is as follows: Adcom 555 II pre-amp, Musical Fidelity A3cr power amp, Panasonic DVD A-110 plus Audioquest Ruby interconnects and type 4 for speakers. Regards
Hello
I had the 11L in the Yew finish, stunning, beautiful.
Had the 12L's in Rosewood, sounded fuller, better.
Now have NHT sb 3's they sound better IMO than the 12L's, faster tighter bass and maybe a bit deeper. The SB's also are non fatiguing yet very detailed. I like them better.
I had them all 22/21/12/11L and after having 3 of them in 3 various periods of time (I did own them) the only one that is still in my system and I trust is going to stay as my secondary system is the 11L.

My room size is 18 X 15 and 8.5 height.
My secondary system : Classe CAP150 (originally Krell 300i which is terrific as well)
Classe CDP.5 and cables are mainly Audience and IC is the PBJ with WBT. Stands for the 11L is very similar to the Target R4 design and is sand filled. Placement is away from the walls.

I am a big fan or the original Rogers BBC/LS3 and these Quad 11's do sound like them in many ways with a heavier lower end extension that will impress the hell out of you for its dimensions. The finish is a bonus!
