I've currently got Quad 22L speakers with Quad 99CDP/99Pre/909 and love the presentation on most music but wondering what the MG-12's will sound like?
What I like about the 22L's is its smooth and immersive presentation; a midrange that pulls me in and is in the spot light, deep bass and weight (particularly piano) that drives the music. Also this might seem like a negative but I like the fact, with the right music, I can put my young'uns to sleep or I can crank it up with Led Zep. or even some dance music without it grating my ears or sounding shouty. I've heard some speakers which have superb clean resolution but are not comfortable when you turn it up.
For me the Quads sounded best pulled out more than a metre from the bay window wall firing length ways into a 13x25ft room but I'd want the MG's to sited on the long wall and don't want them to be pulled out much from the back wall.
Form reading reviews I understand the MG-12's may share some these virtues such as a smooth sound which work at low night time volumes but also have superb resolution and front to back 3D sound stage so keen on your experiences, the amplification and positioning and how long the panels last or any other speaker recommendations which meets my objectives.
I'm in NW London so if someone is happy to demo I'd be very grateful.
