...of hi-fidelity music reproduction. Quad have taken a somewhat different approach to manufacturing then most of their competitors. From the beginning, they have sought to provide themselves with an advantage by producing ALL of their speaker’s components ‘in house’. Most other manufacturers simply ‘buy in’ the various components from independent manufacturers then assemble them to ‘create’ their ‘own’ finished loudspeakers. Quad’s approach does provide ...

Review of Quad 22 L

Quad 11L speakers Look good. Sound good.

Advantages: Ease of positioning.
Disadvantages: Attract the dust.

The Quad 11L is a bookshelf speaker, and it is the smallest in Quads 'L' range. The 12L is a slightly larger bookshelf speaker, and there are two floorstanders. The 21L and 22L. The 'L' series first appeared in 2001. Actually, there was the 10L which came out in 1997, which I believe was smaller than an 11L and was made for Quad by Spendor. So strictly speaking the 'L' series started then. But the current range dates from 2001, and is made by Quad. ...
...(or badged) any box speakers. They have been famous for their electrostatic speakers since 1957. These are not box type speakers, but are flat panel speakers and are quite expensive. The current range starts from £3500. So the box type speaker range was quite a departure for Quad. Whether it was a commercial decision or not I don't know. But they have sold very well. Particularly the 11L, which retails for £379. So what's it like? The same as any ...

Acoustic Energy AEGO, nod and enjoy

Advantages: Please read the review
Disadvantages: Hardly anything loud

...a look at it. The acoustic and tonal quality was bloody impressive and what I saw was even more so. My decision to go for Apple iPod was belated and was on purpose. I always contended that the there was no doubt about the quality of Apple but I had my own reservations about its audio capability. I only decided to go for it after being sure that there is an app. (Sony SRSGU10IP iPod Speaker) which will negate my apprehension and Sony provided it. ...
...Sony app I own. Acoustic Energy AE AEGO M speakers sport a look that justifies its performance, sleek, trendy and inviting. My friend has got the white variation and I have come to know that it has got a black option too and it is similarly impressive. I have been ruing the fact that I have not been able to get my earnings from my ciao account, the simple reason being I don’t have a UK a/c and I’m not a resident of Great Britain. Now things are settled ...

Review of Acoustic Energy AEGO M

BASS In Your Face!

Advantages: Style/Sound Quality/Bass
Disadvantages: Price

Introduction The Acoustic Energy AEGO M speakers comprise of three parts. One sub-woofer and 2 smaller speakers, all of them with a white body and black front. The two smaller speakers are designed to act as a left and a right sounds, similar to headphones, with the sub obviously offering the bass and middle sounds. Acoustic Energy is a company that specialises in hi-fi and speaker systems, the company was founded in 1987 in West London and ...
...a few sources, including the acoustic energy website that these speakers are easy to install. They are like most speakers that connect to a normal stereo, a set of wires for the right speaker and a set from the left - in this case they connect to the sub-woofer rather than a stereo itself. Now I would hardly call myself an expert in this area, but I know enough to connect a few wires in some speakers. Me and my brother undertook the task together, ...

Review of Acoustic Energy AEGO M

Home Cinema + Stereo

Advantages: clean sound, nice finish, good all round speaker
Disadvantages: a bit, just a bit "boomy" bass

I bought Monitor Audio RS6 speakers about 1.5 year ago now... And They still surprise me, getting better and better each day. In all reviews you can read about long run-in process. How very true. Each hour, day and week they will become more musical. Remember it is always worth to invest some money in cables, let them spread the wings, maybe the speakers are not top shelf, I would say more like a upper "budget" but nevertheless give them "some space". ...
...arcam system), comparing them to monitor audio brozne, smaller silvers - RS5, Acoustic Energy Neo 3 and B&W 685 (highly acclaimed - how fair). The only contestant in fact was the last - B&W with "highs" far better, far cleaner... but lows not as deep, and I wanted a speaker that would combine music with cinema performance... If not (If I was only looking for stereo) I would go for B&Ws - same price if you count in the stands. I am very happy with ...
