Which Quads: 12L2 or 11L Monitors?

I just bought a pair of very nice Quad 12L2 speakers. Good low end and very smooth and responsive across the spectrum. Pretty large for my room, though. The same seller is selling a pair of Quad 11L monitors, which are said by more than a few to be the better of the two in terms of crispness (a technical term) and detail. Also, it's said to have very good mid to high bass response for a speaker its size.

The 12Ls speakers are not yet broken in and I need to get good speakers cables and stands. These factors are probably important.

Has anyone who has heard both models kindly give me their opinion?

Thank you.

I have the 12L2s and have never had an issue with crispness on the mid range. For the price point, they are pretty incredible. The bass is signifinaclty better than the 11L2s.

Also, they do take a while to start sounding their best.

As a testamanet to the quality of the Quad dynmaic speakers, they are the main "value" d speakers sold by Overture in Delaware - arguably the best high fi shop on the east coast.
