I've heard the 12Ls and the Rega Mira but not together...both VERY nice options. If it were me , I'd go that direction. The casual listener (or neophyte) will be more impressed by the Quads than the Alons. My opinion is the Mira is a slight improvement over the 4330, but both will please.
Quick Monitor Question
For a medium sized room, powered by something along the lines of a creek 4330, onix A-60, or something of that ilk, would a Alon Lil Rascal MkIII for $400, or a pair of Quad 12Ls for $550 (both used) be a better buy? I'm trying to maximize a budget of $1000 for a pair of monitors, an integrated amp, and a tuner. The tuner I think I solved for $50, and I'd probably go with something like a Creek 4330, Rega Mira, or Onix A-60 for the amp. I have a pair of Epos M5s which I like very much, but the person for whom I'm putting together this system has a larger room, and probably needs somewhat better bass response for it to sound "good" to him.
Thanks!
