I own these. Bass is incredibly low and musical, highs never edgy, and voices are eerie also. Finish is unheard of ( get the birds eye finish, wow)at the price or any price for that matter. It should be fine with your room and equipment. Come system upgrade time, these should be the last to go...but you will probably wish to keep them. This is what hi-end needs.A good sounding, gorgeous looking, affordable product. Good luck !
Will the Quad 22L fit my room and other equipment?
I am about to upgrade my speakers. I am considering the Quad 22L model and would appreciate opinions as to whether they will provide a good "fit" acoustically with my listening room, music preferences and associated equipment. I won't have a chance to audition them at home beforehand.
My room size is 14' x 21' with 8' ceilings and has hardwood floors, large area rugs and an average amount of living room furniture. The speakers will be situated along the sort wall, about 6 ½ feet apart and 3 ½ feet from each of the side walls. My listening position is about 10 feet from the fronts of the speakers. Unfortunately, the fronts of the speakers can be at most 30" into the room, which means that the speakers will be fairly close to the wall behind them. Most of my other equipment has been upgraded within the last year:
NAD C370 integrated amp (120W, high current)
Sony CDP-CA70ES CD changer (will also buy a SACD player in the future)
Marantz st6000 tuner
Van den Hul D-102 III hybrid interconnects
Kimber 4PR cables (Plan to upgrade these soon. Will likely go to a bi-wire setup.)
I listen to jazz music almost exclusively (vocalists, small groups and smooth jazz) at a comfortable listening volume.
Will the Quad 22L provide a good fit for my situation? If so, what speaker cables should I match with them? If not, is there another brand/model in their price range that would fit better? Thank you.
