QUAD 21L or 22L opinions please punch them in

I went for the 22L...was able to get a decent deal.

I've had them for 6 months now and they really are marvellous - both in sonics and looks.

I mainly listen to acoustic jazz, whereas my wife listens to vocals and pop. The Quad handles many genres of music beautifully and is totally unfatiquing. You put on a CD and before you know it, it's playing a second time on repeat and you don't know where the time went.

Good luck...it's a crowded field out there for your dollars. The Quads are exceptional value...by no means the only speakers that fit this bill, but a definite bargain.

Cheers

What electronics are you gents using please, like amp and souce if you dont mind! Thanks

I just picked up a a pair of the 21Ls for a second HT/music system using a Rotel 1055 receiver and the original rega planet for cds. I have been very impressed with the sound right out of the box. The highs are very smooth and though the bass still needs to develop further, they still give a full rich sound. I also like the fact that their center channel is on the smallish side, making it easy to place on top of my tv monitor. Listening to music on this system is very enjoyable and they do justice to HT as well with a decent sub added.

Regarding my system - I purchased the best integrated I could get in the area with my limited budget - the NADC350. I've been very happy with this amp but I feel these speakers would like more juice, someday I hope I can afford to give them the power they deserve :)

My complete system details are available under my Audiogon system info.

Hi everyone,

I've thinking about buying a Quad HT system and I am doubting between the following 2 options:

- 2 Quad 22L as front speakers + 2 Quad 11L as surrounds + Quad central speaker (I will initially not go ahead with the subw.)
- 2 Quad 12L as front speakers + 2 Quad 11L as surrounds + Quad central speaker + subw.

The room is around 280sqf and the actual listening area is around 140sqf. It has a rectangular shape.

I'm afraid the 22L may be a bit too big for the room and that maybe the 12L + subw is a better option. However, I always felt that with two front speakers such as the 22L I could avoid the subw. and also avoid potential problems with neighbours.

Can anyone give me some advice? I would also like to have your feedback regarding a good receiver/amp for que Quads.

Many thanks to everyone.
