Quad 21L2 vs Dynaudio Focus 140's???

Can't speak to those specific speakers, but when I changed from Quad 11Ls to Dynaudio Excite X12s, the Dynaudios were substantially more resolving and detailed than the Quads. They were also better integrated from top to bottom; the Dyns went lower but made the Quads sound boomy. Hope this helps.

Actually it confirms what I discovered this past weekend.I happened across a small shop in downtown Seattle that had a TON of used gear,including a pair of 12L2's.While there was no Dynaudio's to compare side by side,I lived with Dyn's long enough to remember how they sound & the Quads didn't even come close.Thanks much...

I had a pair of the original 12Ls...and for the record...they had exceptional bass...both in terms of quantity and quality...very clean...extremely deep considering the size...however...overtime i found them somewhat fatiguing...the tweeter being the major culprit...I believe they went with a different tweeter on subsequent models...however...I do miss the bass...they are rear ported...so if they are close to a wall they can be boomy....
