Quad 11/12Ls...I auditioned every monitor under the sun for almost a year...case in point...a buddy who has Maggie 1.6s described the Quads as "very big and very open"...their soundstage is huge...and for their size...bass is clean,deep,and tight...and in the QUad tradition...they are very transparent and imaging has a scary 3-d realism...downside:they are unforgiving on poor recordings and equipment....hey, nothings perfect! Build quality is world class too...
Best bookshelf speaker reccomendations?
I currently have the platinum solos (hence my screen name) and have been considering upgrading them in the near future. I love them, but am just curious to see if anyone out there has moved on or has some relevant comparisons. On my list are the following:
AAD 2001 (phil jones new replacements for platinum)
Wilson benesch ARC
B&W 805 signature version
Revel GEM or M20
JM Lab micro utopia
Piega P-?
Currently evolving system: CEC TL2X and monarchy DAC (to be replaced by audio logic 2400 or similar), Pass X150 and soon to be X2.5 preamp.
