I remembered you just asking someone here about how easy they were to drive. Plus Dyn does what you are looking for.
That Stereophile review of the X12 sure made them sound impressive.

So you should be, the Brio will also thank you for not having to feed speakers that will just soak up power, me I'm off to buy some mono blocks :scratch2:

Both observant and perceptive. I read alot about them and they seemed like a good fit. Also the reviews were right down my alley. I've always wanted a Dyn that's easy to drive because I never have a powerful amp...voila!

I was thinking about pre-power combos as I used to own a pair of Audio Analogue Donizetti's which was a huge leap up from my old Cyrus gear. They drove my old P3's (difficult load) with ease and the sound never hardened up, although I did have to replace one of the drivers once. Been looking at the Audiolab 8200MB's, loads of effortless power on tap.

I suspect they will be a great fit, but there's only one way to know for sure!
Its a brand I've always wanted to try, seems like they have a really nice blend of virtues, they also look so damn classy as well. Did the Quads open a can of worms or had they already escaped?

The worms were waiting at the gates and the Quads opened the gate. The Dyn's have been ordered and should be here before the Memorial weekend.
My wife decided to keep the Deep Rose Quads and we're listening to her setup as I type this. She now has a couple of fine speakers in the Quads and the Era D4's.

Well, we have spent the last couple of days listening to everything from M Ward to Kodaly and Miles Davis and I must say that the Quad's have acquitted themselves nicely. Yesterday while listening to the Miles Davis/Gil Evans collaborations my wife and I both noticed details and enjoyed subtleties that we had not heard or experienced before. Made for a wonderful listening session. For the $449 asking price they are a no brainer recommendation.

The box on both of them is white and one says Cherry and the other Deep Rose, I'm not as understanding as you.
It all worked out anyway as we kept them both.

Already had received assurance from the U.S. distributor that the correct LF spec is 48db +/-3db and now from IAG.
"Dear Mr Arthur Kyle
Thank you for your E-mail.
The very early owner’s manual had the incorrect specification. All our current production has the correct specification of 48Hz for -3dB in room response.

Gotta revive this thread. Apologies in advance since I don't yet own these speakers.
The 11L2 do the disappearing act exceptionally well. The imagaing is top notch.
Art, do you have still have an extra pair of the 11L Classic (the wrong red)? I like music in the dark and don't have a wife so matching wood tones is less important

My wife now has the Rose colored set (she also still has the Era Design D4's) and I will use the dark cherry in my HT setup. They are a very good speaker and a steal for the asking price.
