QUAD 22L2 Floor-standing Speaker Review
QUAD are a well known and highly regarded British audio company, associated for many years with high-end hi-fi. Respected throughout the world for quality products capable to produce the very finest audiophile quality reproduction of recorded music.
The 22L2 floor-standing loudspeakers are superbly finished, top of the range electromagnetic (or electro-dynamic) units and have already gained an enviable reputation amongst those who appreciate fine quality sound. They are a direct replacement for and development of, the previous model 22L loudspeakers which also enjoyed high regard in the world of hi-fidelity music reproduction.

Advantages: wondeful intense dark chocolate and chewy toffee Disadvantages: may be too strong for some
Who says that adverts don't work? I am sure that we all remember adverts for countless products. Alas I am sure that the point of adverts is to get us to buy the product and not remember the actual advert (we just have to remember to buy it that's all). So how come I can remember the adverts better than the products?

Very bizarre (ooh it rhymes).

Finally, the connection between the stand and the screen is poorly designed - The mechanism which allows the screen to tilt is a bit flimsy and although there is no danger of the TV falling over, it wobbles significantly on its stand. Would only recommend if planning to use ...
