Whow! Uhurit, You may have saved me a few hundred bucks. After reading reviews and recommends speakers for my litlle Rotel ra 1060 intergrated and RDC 1072 CDP, I almost bought the 22L. The Rotel are bright and harsh on top end, I thought they recommend the 22l to soften my Rotels..Did you say bright and etched highs...What amp and pre are you running the Quad with. They said it was very neutral and need help on the high...Let me know.
