    Welcome to the very final part of my review of the Quad 99 Hifi system. For those seeking to get a feel for the overall system this review should be read in conjunction with those that I have previously written covering the other components in particular the Pre and power Amp. My Quad 99 system comprises of: 99 Pre Amp control unit. 99 Power Amp 99 FM tuner 99 CDP2 Cd player 11L2 Speaker In this much delayed last instalment I am going to look at what, in many respects is the most important part of the system namely the speakers. These are the things which have the job of actually changing all ... more

    5 Stars Quad 11L speakers Look good. Sound good. 11/10/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Ease of positioning.

    Disadvantages 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. Prior to the 'L' range, Quad had not produced (or badged) any box speakers. They have been famous for their electrostatic speakers since 1957 ... more

    5 Stars Beautiful looks. Beautiful sound. 05/02/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Immacuately built, gorgeous sounding loudspeakers

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very few. They might show up your current source equipment and have you spending more money

    If you are ready to take the step up from £100 a component budget hi-fi to £300-£400 a component real hi-fi these are the speakers you should be auditioning. They will, quite simply, revolutionise your system. Quad is a long-established UK-based hi-fi company that has specialised in rather esoteric valve amplifiers and electrostatic speakers. However it was recently bought out with one of the post-takeover changes being that some manufacturing was relocated to China. The 11L is a product of that move and the benefits can be seen as soon as you remove the 31x19x24cm units from their neatly ... more

    5 Stars Can you stretch a budget? 06/02/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fab finish and more than extra special sound.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Your going to need to splash out to get the best from these speakers.

    --BACKGROUND INFO-- To start with, I'm suprised that these speakers even exist! Quad is the big sister of wharfedale, they basicaly broke off to focus on the high-end market. Until now, Quad's speakers have been highly priced, electrostatic wonders! We're talking thousands of pounds here! These speakers are basicaly Quad's version of Wharedale's fantastic diamond range (see my review of the diamond 8.3s). Being Quad however, they've had to take things one step further, with all new techno wizardry, fancy magnets, expensive materials, componants and finish - these beauties really are the 'high ... more

    5 Stars Mighty “little” boxes that deliver. 20/02/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very revealing

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Make badly recorded music sound worse

    I have been looking for a speaker to go with my Naim set-up that did not over power my living room. I felt that the Naim speakers apart from being physically to big for my listening area cost too much for my pocket. I found a friend of mine had just up-graded his system and had a pair of these speakers for sale, he had been using these speakers to listen to one of the best turntables in world in my humble opinion a Linn LP 12 so I knew that the Quad speakers could cope with "high end" sound. This is where the Quad speaker fitted the bill perfectly for my requirements not only did they look ... more
