Thanks for the greetings, ya'll. I live in Austin, the Oak Hill area (SW). The Quads are 22L2 floor standers. I have had them for about two years. They are a neutral sounding speaker. The highs are laid back but that may be due to the fact that my music room is dampened with furnishings, carpet and drapes. I like them nonetheless as they do more right than wrong. They excel with jazz and vocals. They do ok with rock but I notice they get a little congested in the midrange when playing dense rock at moderate to high volume.
One question I have for you AC'ers: my music room is 10x13x10. Now, I have read that floor standers are too big for rooms that are small. I guess my room is small. Would I benefit by switching to monitors? I confess that I prefer floor standers just because I like the greater soundstage they throw out. I have heard conflicting thoughts about this, however. I have a good friend who worked in audio sales for a number of years and he said there is nothing wrong with floor standers in my size room. Anyhow, just wondering what the consensus on this might be?
