Anyone running Quad 22L speakers?

uhurit,

What were you running up stream from the 22's? Just curious.

Whow! Uhurit, You may have saved me a few hundred bucks. After reading reviews and recommends speakers for my litlle Rotel ra 1060 intergrated and RDC 1072 CDP, I almost bought the 22L. The Rotel are bright and harsh on top end, I thought they recommend the 22l to soften my Rotels..Did you say bright and etched highs...What amp and pre are you running the Quad with. They said it was very neutral and need help on the high...Let me know.

As long as your room has a bit of damping, the quads will not sound bright with your rotel.

If you are looking for a thick, slow, syrupy sound, the quad will not do it, get something like a Sonus Faber.

But if you like a neutral, transparent sound that feels real, look into the Quad

I have had the 22L and others in that line. Never found them to be bright. They seem more mellow on top to me. I think they are one of the best speakers in their price range. Maybe they need to be broken in more.

I've had them with Rogue Tempest, and then with a hybrid mono's and a pre- from Vincent. Consonance CD-120. Solid copper wires. While there always is a possibility that my components (admittedly mid-fi)or room acoustics did not match with the Quads, but that's my story. Besides, there is something fishy about the fact you can buy new speakers like these for an easy 30% off. All that with amazing specs... My opinion only, of course
