Speaker Upgrade Question Quad 22L

IMHO ..You need to focus on speakers that are sealed, or that can provide you the bass of a sealed alignment. I wouldn't even look at a ported bass reflex speaker in your case. You have the power to go sealed...go for it.

Also a digital eq might help.

Good luck

Orelayer - you have a 15 x 25' room, and you can't get the speakers more than a foot from the back wall? what gives? Pull them out into the room

I would love to be able to pull the speakers out. I am dealing with 2 sofas along the walls a pool table, a fireplace and a wet bar. On one end of the room is a sliding glass door to a patio. Unfortunately, I have to build the system around the room not room around the system. I am going to try putting foam in the port this weekend. Thanks for all the replies!

like i said...try a single amp first. the 11,12 and 22 require very little power, even in a big room.

Filling the ports with foam helped but it also seemed to diminish everything making the speaker sound slightly dull and unexciting. I tried the single amp idea that also helped but by doing so I also noticed less seperation and a diminished sound stage. I can live with that but the bi amping really seemed to bring the system alive except of course for the bass. I guess with my "way" less than perfect room it will always be a give and take situation.Any other suggestions out there?
