Description

I think this is a solid all-around setup for a small room. My listening tastes run the gamut and I'm always pleased. The front end's musicality coupled with the active Quad's speed and resolution are a nice match. In a perfect world I would like a bit more detail retrieval. I'm hoping that a retip of the Shelter will provide that. Also planning on doing the Wave Mechanic power supply and maybe the Heavy Kit somewhere down the line.

Tubehead21,
Good to see another Quad user. Looks like you are in the Bay Area. Years back, I used to live there and purchased my Quads from Analog Room in San Jose. The Quad 12Ls are phenomenal. Unfortunately they are sleepers and do not get much attention.
Would love to see your system.
