QUAD L12 OR TANNOY R2 ?
One more vote for the Quad. I bought the 12Ls the moment I heard them! Most dealers will sell for around $800-$850 which I consider a VERY good value.I'm running an Arcam Diva A85 and I've been VERY pleased. 
New Speakers 1k
I can only echo the praise of the Quad "12L" in this and in other threads on this board. The first time I heard them, I bought them! The tight/"punchy" bass will knock your socks off for the size and price ($800.00-$850.00 NEW).Very high spouse ap...
