Owning both, the Stingray in either Ultra Linear or Triode, with well-matched speakers will be the better economic and sonic choice for your room. Buy the Stingray and trade your Quad 11L speakers up for a something with more efficiency and dynamic range.
With the money saved on the Stingray and what you should get for your Quads, find a pair of Monitor Audio PL 100 or GS 10 speakers. Having a 10 x 10 room, youll have more than adequate sound pressure. Moreover, with a Stingray in Triode, youll have the added benefit of tube presence and more aural pleasure in listening.
If your room was larger, and you were starting with something like a pair of Genesis 7.1 or Paradigm Reference Studio Esprits, the Cary would be the answer. Just leave this as the next amp in your progression in sonic enjoyment.
