QUAD Floorstanding Speaker L Series - Manual (Page 4)

The QUAD 21L
The 21L is a loudspeaker which is simple and elegant in design, yet
remarkable in performance. As well as negating the need for stands,
the 21L gives an extended bass response over the standmount
versions, yet retains all the precision, detail and imaging capabilities of
its smaller brethren.
The lustrous piano finish is applied to each speaker by hand over a
period of seven days, each of which involves applying a coat of
lacquer which must then dry at an ambient temperature before being
cut and polished. The final coat is polished to a high gloss finish to
produce one of the finest finishes seen on any loudspeaker in this
class.
The QUAD 22L
The 22L is the flagship of the range. This tall, floorstanding model
with ultra low distortion twin KEVLAR drivers produces a fast,
dynamic bass, extending to around 30Hz at the lower end for real
impact and a compelling sense of scale. Bass detail is excellent,
tracking precisely every nuance of the deepest double bass while,
maintaining an area of open space around instruments.
The QUAD L Centre
For the first time ever, Quad is producing a centre channel speaker
within the ‘L’ series. That is not to abandon our hi-fi roots, but to
enable those with good multi-channel systems to enjoy the ‘L’ series in
all its glory – the ‘L’ centre is tonally and frequency matched to
produce an exceptional surround sound speaker system capable of
reproducing not only film sound-tracks with spectacular clarity and
precision, but also of reproducing the growing number of multi-
channel music formats.
“Not only do they come in a beautiful real-wood
veneer with a piano gloss lacquer, but they sound
terrific too. The scale and authority of their
performance is breathtaking”
