Are Quad 22L2 's considered highly colored?

I listened to these recently and immediately liked what I heard, but thought they had lot of what I would call color. Not sure if that is the term though. I wondering if they get fatiguing over 30 minutes or so. The other speaker I'm considering the Totem Hawk.

Can't speak of 22L. I have the 21L. If they have color...then I say, I love them that way. My experience with Quad dynamic speakers has been absolutely positive. For me they image well and are non-fatiguing. They reveal what you feed them with. And with my room treatment, they are in a totally new league. I am surprised that Phasecorrect found them fatiguing. I have listened to them for 4 hours straight and could still go on...till I realize that it is already past 3:00AM.
I feel you should audition the 22L and Hawk and then decide what you like. Both speakers have their "house sound". I auditioned and preferred the Quad "house sound", but YMMV.

One thing I did notice that Quad has come out with the 23L and 25L. They look awesome. The Quad 23L may suit your needs. Here are some links:
