Forum : Speakers : Ask for information and advice about Quad Speakers http://www.hifi-forums.co.uk/ I have a couple of old Quad II Amplifer and I need to change speakers. Does the new L22 sounds good with them?Alternatively what is the right stand or even bookshelf speaker? http://www.hifi-forums.co.uk/messages.cfm?messageid=C6FC2BBB-3048-8D61-F875B3281ECB4B31&r=1 2008-03-19T12:20:57--01:00 Speakers and Quad II Help, help, help... I'll probably get slaughtered for the following, but it's time for me to get uncomfortable. I am hardly an audiophile in the technical sense, but definitely enjoy good sound and video. I need some help understanding something, so please give me your views.I am completing a dedicated cinema / music room of 6.8m x 4.6m (that's about 22 x 15 ft for the footies). There will be 6 comfortable seats in it. The screen is 2.1m wide and hangs on cables in front of a full width thick curtain (hiding a french door). Other than that the room is fairly ordinary with windows at the back fronted by heavy curtains.I run an Onkyo 805 Amp and 504 DVD player (and dare I mention a PS3 BD player as well) and an Optoma H82 projector. I am looking for new speakers (previously had the Diamond 8 series all round with 8.4s in the front and a 10" powercube). I will be getting the Onkto HD875 when it releases here (South Africa).I've had a look at many speakers, and whilst money is ultimately a consideration, it's not top of my list. I've wanted a Quad set-up 22L2's for music and a L-ite package for video (for some reason I can't get the L-series cinema package here and to buid it up is just not worth it at SA prices). The reviews have been outstanding. I was quite happy with my Wharfedales, aside from the finish, but what I'm trying to understand is: what is the real difference between the Quads and the Wharfedales. It is an ignorant question, I know, but I've never seen them together in a shootout and they seem to share much of the same technology but have (at least here in SA) VERY polarised reputations. An alternative to the Quads would be EVO2's or possibly the Opus 2's. The thing is that the Wharfedales seem to have far more advanced cabinets. Any views? http://www.hifi-forums.co.uk/messages.cfm?messageid=7F3E0DF9-5070-B652-04BE89C69E5A2D32&r=2 2007-08-19T17:49:06--01:00 Wharfedale vs Quad Apart form the look, is there any difference between Quad 12L Active and Quad 12L Pro Active ?
