Change in direction for me, (back) to planars.
These Quads were bought new in mid January - they have almost 4 yrs & 10 mos left on their warranty. Absolutely beautiful speakers, in pristine condition. The build quality isn't far off what you'd expect from Sonus Faber. Box, packaging, cloth bags, white gloves, paperwork, all included and perfect. They don't need tons of power but if you have a 100w amp they will definitely enjoy it. They were voiced to sound like the ESL-63 in the mids and highs, and having owned the 63's, I do hear the similarities. These are more dynamic and can be driven harder without any fear of bad things happening. They work well on 20-23" stands, depending on your seating. From the original 11L/12L review in TNT:
"This truly is a loudspeaker that needs no apologies. It sounds much more complete than the 11L and never puts a foot wrong: definitely a more mature music maker, with perfect finish and craftsmanship, easy to use, and a wonderfully-natural sound. At 1000 euro per pair the 12L would be brilliant. It costs 700 euro/pair ..."$465. Shipping in US (by mail) should be in the $40-50 range depending where.
