I am considering to buy the above mentioned Quad or B&W bookshelf speaker, would anyone please recommend which one I should choose in term of quality? ( I don't care much about the price) I like clasical & Pop, but sometime listen blue music.
I would go will the Quads. I bought the 12L's I had a pair of Paradigm Studio 40's and a audio buddy of mine had some B&W 805's and we both agreed that the Quad's are much better overall. He ended up going with the Vandersteen 2C sig's. The high end of the Quad is not harsh or bright at all. I think that I have come to the conclusion that low to mid end speakers with metal dome tweeters are not good. Even the Vandersteen's were a little bright before they broke-in. With the Paradigm's I would only listen for about an hour before I couldn't stand the brightness of high's any more. I find myself listening for 4 or more hours at a time when time permits.
