Strength:
Strong lower tones and to my ears very accurate reproduction of piano sounds. Very strong and powerful mid tones. But depends on placement against the back wall. I would love it placed a little closer to the wall to bring up the tight lower bass. I would suggest even taking out the subwoofer system and let it run alone and enjoy the pure bass. Treble can be a bit hard sometimes but depends on material played. Weakness:
It may be because of a need for proper matching of DAC and amplifier but my craving is for sizzĺing highs which i think is lacking in these beauties. Could be a deteriorating voice coil of the hf unit. I have found the ferrofluid in one hf driver dried up and i had to do open heart surgery and recovered the unit which would otherwise be near impossible to find and replace. Otherwise acceptable. Purchased: New

Strength:
I have this for close to 15 years and its as good today as new. Paired with the best of Arcam A85, CD62 and running KabelDirekt interconnects, this is the best protected investment I made in hifi. Clear trebles. Great Mids for voice and acceptable lows. Can do better with low freq but this is a small speaker. Am thinking of adding a subwoofer. Weakness:
The bass can be better but this is a bookshelf. Purchased: New

Strength:
The Quad 77-11L Stand-mount Speakers are amongst the very best that I have heard and certainly the best that I own. They are wonderfully insightful and detailed. They gave me a renewed interest in listening to my music collection on Vinyl, CD and most recently Tidal Masters. They have had me listening to, and enjoying music that I had previously had little interest in. They have revealed details previously unheard in tracks that I known intimately for decades. They don't have any cabinet colouration to speak of and disappear if you close your eyes, the sound-stage is very 3D and extends well beyond the speakers' positions. They have excelled at presenting everything that I've thrown at them from Johnny Cash to Stormzy and everything in-between. If you get the chance to get/listen to a pair - don't hesitate - they won't disappoint! the have gone way beyond my expectations! Weakness:
They need care and attention with positioning to give their best. The Mrs doesn't like the colour (Birdseye Maple) Price Paid: £100
Model Year: 2004

Simply put .. dollar for dollar the Quad 11L speaker is THE best in the marketplace. Period! Stop reading reviews of other speakers. Go visit your local retail outlet that carries them, reach into your pocket and buy a pair and then go home and enjoy a lifetime of crisp, clear, fidelity in music.

These are excellent speakers...full stop. Purchased a very nice pair of 11L originals from a well known auction site in fabulous yew finish. They are compact and beautifully finished. 4 terminals per speaker to which I run 4 x monoblocks. 2 per speaker.

At the time of writing this review I have been listening to my Quad 11L2's in the beautiful Rosewood finish for about 6 months now. I must say I have to agree with all the hype these speakers receive. I have been switching monitor speakers in and out over the last ten years. Some of my previous coveted monitors were Silverline SR 12's, Totem Rainmakers and Von Schweikert VR-1's. In listening to the Quad's I can honestly tell you they best them all. These simply are the best monitor speakers under $1000 PERIOD!!! Sure you can find better out there but you will have to spend upwards close to $2000 (not in my budget!) These would include monitors from Merlin, PMC and Proac...all around $2000 and up!!!!
