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 had the 12L for a while and liked them. The tweeter was very good and overall a nice clean sound. That being said, I found them to have a recessed midrange compared to several other speakers I had on hand. I always wondered if the 11Ls had more explicit mids (or if the next generation 12L2), especially since I used them with a sub.
