Actually difference between class A and AB?
I, too, am interested in description of Class A v A/B. In particular, what is the nature of crossover distortion or reduction in sound quality as an amp moves from Class A to B? I feel like I can hear it sometimes.Charlie 
for Bill Evans fan
"You Must Believe In Spring" is a good expample of excellent work he was doing in the last years before his death, both in studio and live. He always put together a super trio. I agree with posters above, lots of great stuff to choose from. Charlie 
I love my little Quad 9Ls;will I like bigger ones?
I was one of those "mixed comments". Although I loved most aspects of their sound, my 11L Actives were always edgy on some material. But now they sound very good. Last year I put wool diffraction pads around the tweeters and added aftermarket powe... 
Can good speakers take edge off digital?
Toufu,I own the active version of the Quad 11L. The speaker does many things very well, but there is a definite hot spot in the tweeter output. A hump from 5kHz to 10kHz gives many recordings an edginess that I can't tolerate- particularly with co... 
Low volume kind to low frequency?
Rick,I definitely agree with the suggestion of getting a subwoofer with a remote control. It works great for what you want to do.Regards,Charlie 
Good Bookshelf Speakers for a Hearing Loss?
Lalo23,I hope this input is somewhat relevant.I have a pair of Quad 11L Active speakers and a Quad Lite sub, all run directly from a cd player/DAC with volume control. This system is very close to perfect for me - extremely dynamic and essentially...

HELP I think I have an electrical issue??
Tim,I am wiring a cabin right now and have been reviewing my electrical book with this issue in mind. The house curcuits are all tied together at the main breaker panel so spikes, surges and noise generated within the house can move between them. ... 
Tone controls- to use or not?
I have slipped a variation of this question into several discussions. With regard to digital equalization, is there a program or software plug-in available (for Windows Media Player or Foobar, for example) that is considered high quality? The Behr... 
digital equalizers
JPOD,I was wondering much the same thing, but specifically about the pros and cons of the digital equalizers in media players (e.g., foobar, itunes) and/or other software. Does digital sound processing of this type have any detrimental effects on ... 
Preamp into Quad Actives?
Ktennes, The CDP-2 does not have any processing capabilities. I should have mentioned that along with the recording software (which allowed me to perform digital equalization), I borrowed my friend's laptop, on which the software was running, and ... 
Preamp into Quad Actives?
I am running a Quad CDP-2 from its variable output (unbalanced) into 11L Actives and a Quad L-ite sub. The system is very dynamic and open with clear, defined bass. I feel that there is a little glare in the upper end (4-7kHz) that needs to be eli...
