They definitely are Eminence, but I don't know the specific model number as I am not up on that driver brand as much as some others...

" How do you think these would mate with a Jolida 302B integrated tube amp? In order to demo the pair I'll likely need to purchase at least one (probably the Jolida). Also, I noticed on Quad's site that they have the 12L and the 12L2. A quick call to a dealer leads me to believe the 12L2 is a replacement...correct? "
ptoomey,
Actually auditioned both the Quad 11L and 12L with a Jolida 302B tube integrated (I own a Jolida 502A) in a fairly large (I'm guessing 24 x 16 x 8) soundroom (Deja Vu Audio, McLean, Va) and I didn't feel that the Jolida had any problems driving either of these speakers. Remember Jolida does have a 4 ohm tap. Btw, both of these Quads were very nice, somewhat warm (think British) sounding speakers. The music that I used in the auditioning was mostly acoustic based (blues and bluegrass) with artists ranging from Junior Wells to Allison Krauss and the vocals seem to be done well. Now I have to admit that I like a warm sounding speaker. About the only thing I noticed was in auditioning the Quad 11Ls is that on one Taj Mahal track were he has some female back-up singers and horns going on at the same time, that it got a little congested. As far as the difference between the 12L and 12L2, I believe that Quad changed the tweeters. Haven't heard the 12L2, so can't comment on it. . If you could hear both 12L and 12L2, then you would have a better idea of which one sounds best to your ears. But having said that I can't imagine the 12L2 being bad speakers. Also, I think the Quads are very good looking speakers, especially in the Rosewood finish.

Wow. I haven't anything about Swan in a loooooooong time. Kex is pretty familiar with their drivers, IIRC. I wonder what he thinks?
