 Chumpy's recommendation | |
Clarity.
Balance.
Finish.
Midrange.
None for the price.
It was great to find the Quad 12L - a great looking bookshelf speaker, with clarity, midrange and firm bass - and when a pair of these speakers cost almost half as the B&W 704's, then its a winner.
However the Quad 12Ls are very transparent - the quality of the source, connectors, amp and speaker cable make a huge difference on the what you'll hear (more so than other speakers I have tested in the past). I noticed a big improvement with cable choices - moved up to Chord Silver Plus Biwire - more detail, better timing and clearer midrange. I was seriously considering the B&W 602's before auditioning the Quads - 11L was great, but the 12's have a stronger bass ..... You need to use good cables...
