Quad 11L Classic

Well good, other than the veneer snafu, these appear to be working out well. I do hope the cherry treat you as well as the rosewood; there could be subtle differences is sound based upon sonic coloration theories ;-)

When we listen to music my wife often asks me "is that a tenor sax". Last night I caught her on a number of occasions saying "that's a tenor sax". She is considering buying the pair in Deep Rose. I doubt she will but she likes them enough to actually consider it.

The Quads are a lot more like a mini version of your Boxer's than the Rega's. Nothing lean about about the Quad's, all fat and juicy. A sound I didn't think I would like nearly as much as I do...hmm!

Indeed they do. We really love these speakers. Many of the same descriptors that I used with the Nola's apply. Effortless power and I must say that they have me thinking. You can throw anything at them and they reproduce it convincingly and that's with a Marantz AVR upfront! Think I'll have another beer.

Very nice speaker indeed. Very classic, nothing fancy, that's why i do like Quad. I hope they sound as good as they look.
Happy listening Art !
 
Nice build quality! You do the same thing I do with my Rega RS-1's on their stands. You put a larger (maple?) block of wood under them.

I have a suspended floor so I have some birch plywood that is a bit lively all by itself so I put a granite tile on top of the birch ply, and the speaker stand spikes into small plastic floor protecters against the granite. Takes the flab out of the bass without getting the weird bass you get when you've put your stands on the wrong surface.
 
I feel your pain speaker-color pain, Art- I got Rosewood for my Harbeths at cost (its usually a lot more), and ever since, I wish I'd gone with the cheaper Cherry, as it would match all the teak/cherry wood in my home. The Harbeths stick out like a sore (but pretty) thumb, even though the Rosewood is beautiful (and real...smells nice, too). If I get SHL-5s, they're going to match everything here.
